Values are presented as means ± s.e.m.
P < 0.01
P < 0.001 versus sedentary.
P < 0.01
P < 0.001 versus active. V̇o2, oxygen uptake (expressed in ml min−1); V̇o2 kg−1, oxygen uptake per unit body weight (expressed in ml min−1 kg−1); RER, respiratory exchange ratio (V̇co2/V̇o2); HR, heart rate (expressed in beats min−1); VT, ventilatory threshold; %peak V̇o2, V̇o2 at the VT expressed as a percentage of the individual peak V̇o2.
