Peak VO2 (in mL O2·kg−1·min−1), body weight (BW in grams), soleus muscle citrate synthase activity (CS in µmol·mg−1·min−1), heart weight/body weight ratio (HW/BW), myocardial infarction (MI) area, cardiomyocyte width (µm) and cardiac collagen content (%) data in control (sham), MI-HF and MI-HF exercise trained (MI-HFtr) rats (Mean ± SEM).

Main time effect: peak VO2 [F (1, 18) = 9.75, p = 0.0058] pre-training values>post-training values and BW [F (1, 16) = 10.73, p = 0.0047]. CS activity [F (2, 21) = 29.80, p<0.0001] *MI-HFcontrol (p = 0.0002); HW/BW [F (2, 16) = 8.55, p = 0.0029] *controlcontrol (p<0.0001) and cardiac collagen content [F (2, 23) = 3.76, p = 0.0245] *MI-HF>control (p = 0.0189) and ‡MI-HFtr (p = 0.0311).
