Table 2. Force and oxygenation variables at the end of each protocol.

	FTI (% baseline)	MVC (% baseline)	dMb (% maximal)	PO₂ (Torr)
Slow Rhythmic Contractions	59.6 (11.7) n = 9	69.5 (13.4)	41.2 (8.6)	3.82 (1.37)
Rapid Rhythmic Contractions	37.2 (5.1) n = 9	56.6 (8.9)	42.5 (11.7) n = 10	3.84 (1.93) n = 10
p-value	< 0.001	0.01	0.49	0.89

Note: FTI (force-time integral), MVC (maximal voluntary contraction force), dMb (deoxymyoglobin) and PO₂ (oxygen partial pressure) are provided (mean (SD); p-values are for the difference between protocols at min 16; n = 11 except where indicated.
