Study participant characteristics.
| Variable | PG (n = 15) | SG (n = 15) | * p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height (cm) | 178.98 ± 1.98 | 178.18 ± 1.86 | 0.782 |
| Weight (kg) | 70.13 ± 2.14 | 72.75 ± 1.95 | 0.375 |
| BMI (m2/kg) | 22.13 ± 0.63 | 23.07 ± 0.56 | 0.280 |
| VO2max (mL/kg/min) | 53.87 ± 1.64 | 53.80 ± 1.57 | 0.977 |
| Age (years) | 20.40 ± 0.31 | 20.20 ± 0.20 | 0.821 |
| Years training (years) | 10.27 ± 0.84 | 9.47 ± 0.82 | 0.501 |
Results are expressed as the mean (SEM) before the experiment. All reported p values are based on comparisons between PG and SG. BMI: body mass index; VO2max: maximal oxygen uptake. *: p < 0.05.
