Table 2.

Omax for interval and continuous exercise patterns performed above and below the ventilatory threshold

Interval physical activity Continuous physical activity
>VT intensity (presses) 92.5±87.9 26.1±61.0
<VT intensity (presses) 75.5±99.4 32.4±46.5

All data are means ± SD

VT: ventilatory threshold

Main effect of physical activity pattern (interval, continuous, P < 0.005).

Data from boys and girls were combined because there were no significant sex differences.
