	Age	Height	Weight	BMI	FM	Training per week	HRmax	VO2max	VO2LT	70% VO2LT
Mean	28.08	1.79	70.42	22.03	11.31	11.93	186.24	63.39	51.08	35.76

All data are reported as mean and standard deviation. Age: years; Height: m; Weight: kg; BMI: body mass index (kg·m⁻²); FM: fat mass (% of body weight); Training per week: time spent by cyclists training per week (hours); HRmax: maximum heart rate measured during the VO₂max test (beats per minute, bpm); VO_2max: maximum VO₂ assessed during the specific test (ml/kg/min); VO_2LT: VO₂ value at lactate threshold (ml/kg/min); 70%VO_2LT: intensity corresponding at 70% of the VO₂ at lactate threshold (ml/kg/min).
