Mechanical power	W	283.2 ± 35.5 (average)	276.3 ± 27.7 (MAP)	0.2
Average cadence	rpm	88.2 ± 5.1‡	99.2 ± 9.3	1.5
Peak HR	bpm	193.4 ± 6.2‡	198.1 ± 5.3	0.9
Average HR	bpm	189.7 ± 6.1	—
Peak [La−]	mM	8.4 ± 1.9‡	11.0 ± 1.7	1.5
Peak $\dot{V}{\mathrm{O}}_2$	ml·kg−1·min−1	66.9 ± 4.4‡	62.7 ± 3.7	1.0

^*FTP = functional threshold power; MAP = maximal aerobic power; HR = heart rate.

^†Average HR and oxygen consumption rate ($\dot{V}{\mathrm{O}}_2$) were calculated from the last 15 minutes of the FTP field test.

^‡p < 0.05 vs. incremental test.
