Figure 2. VO₂ dynamic response of one subject performing time to exhaustion exercise bouts.

After no prior exercise (closed circles) and after prior moderate exercise (open circles) (upper panel); after no prior exercise (closed circles) and after prior heavy exercise (open circles) (middle panel); after prior moderate exercise (closed circles) and after prior heavy exercise (open circles) (lower panel). The insets in the respective VO₂ graphs represent the individual (full black and full white) and mean (full grey) values in the time sustained at the correspondent exercise bout released. ^*significant differences between the two studied conditions (p<0.05).
