Gray box: pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program. Gray dots and lines: pre- and post-PR values. Black dots and lines: values during the maintenance program. Linear mixed effects model. Time effect: p < 0.001 for (a–c). Post-hoc: different from pre-PR: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. Different from post-PR: #p < 0.05
