    Mean percentage change in knee extensor peak torque at 150°/s after 12 weeks of exercise intervention and 12 weeks after cessation of the exercise program. NOTE. Values are mean ± SEM. Absolute peak torque measured in newton-meters was used in the calculation of percentage changes. *P<.05 for 6 to 9 months percentage change.
