Values are expressed as mean ± SD. There were no significant differences between CON and EX at baseline, .
PEF: peak expiratory flow; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FEV1/FVC (%): ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity; : forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75%.
