TABLE 3.
Estimated marginal contrasts of workloads between reoxygenation at 50%, 75%, and 100% peak workload in each muscle site from the linear mixed-effects model.
| Muscle Site | Contrast of Workload (95% CI) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 75%–50% | 100%–50% | 100%–75% | |
| Vastus Lateralis | 3 (1, 5)* | 9 (3, 14)* | 6 (2, 10)* |
| Rectus Femoris | 7 (5, 9)* | 16 (10, 22)* | 9 (5, 13)* |
| Paraspinals | 4 (2, 6)* | 14 (8, 20)* | 10 (6, 15)* |
| Deltoid | 1 (−1, 3) | 5 (−1, 11) | 4 (−1, 8) |
Values represent the estimate (95% confidence interval) for the pairwise difference in half-recovery time (HRT) in seconds between workloads. Positive values indicate that the higher workload has slower reoxygenation than the lower workload. * significant difference (P < 0.05) for the contrast between workloads.
