Note: Data are presented as mean ± SD. 4 × 4 min, 4 × 4 min running at ~95% of maximal aerobic speed (MAS) interspersed by 3 min active recovery; 8 × 20 s, 8 × 20 s exhaustive running at ~150% of MAS interspersed by 10 s passive recovery; 10 × 30 s, 10 × 30 maximal running (average of ~175% MAS) interspersed by 3.5 min active recovery; V̇O2, oxygen uptake. *Significantly different from 4 × 4 min at baseline (p ≤ 0.05).
