CT, continuous training; IT Intermittent training; CG, control group; t ½ [La]: the half time of the blood lactate removal; [La](0): Pre-training vs. Post-training values for blood lactate concentration at the beginning of recovery; [La]peak: peak blood lactate concentration measured during the recovery; t [La] peak: time to peak lactate.
* p < 0.05
*** p < 0.001 significantly different from pre-training
† p < 0.05 and # p < 0.001: significantly difference change compared with CG,
‡ p < 0.05: Significantly different from CT.
