Variables: ^aMSH i.e. maximal step-up height the mean of right and left leg (cm), ^bage (years), ^cfollow-up time i.e. time from baseline to 14–30-month (mean 22) follow-up (months), ^dwaist circumference (cm), co linearity to BMI and weight, ^eVO2-max i.e. maximal oxygen uptake (L•min-1), and ^fsum3bdfg denotes any limitations in the SF-36 scale physical function in items 3b, 3d, 3f and 3 g. Standard error = SE. * Denotes p-level < 0.05
