  1. Mean ± standard deviation and range of participant baseline characteristics for the 24 participants who completed the study. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) [30] and treadmill peak VO2 [31, 32] expressed as a percentage of predicted values. Residual volume (RV) divided by total lung capacity (TLC) reflects the degree of air trapping
