Variables are expressed as mean (SD).

^aSignificant differences between low-risk and high-risk groups.

^bSignificant differences between low-risk group and control group.

^cSignificant differences between high-risk group and control group.

¹Global P value adjusted by multiplicity. 5STS: Five sit-to-stand test; EQ-5D-5L: Euroqol 5 dimensions 5 levels; FSS: Fatigue severity scale; LL: Lower limb; UL: Upper limb; UULEX: Unsupported upper-limb exercise; VAS: Visual analogue scale.
