VO2peak (ml.kg−1.min−1) | 66.64±1.85 | 66.96±3.53 | 63.08±6.02 |
HRpeak (bpm) | 179.0±15.12 | 182.80±9.51 | 182.80±14.09 |
[La−] | 10.71±1.20 | 11.76±1.69 | 13.46±1.72 |
A0 = VO2 at rest, A1 = amplitude of the fast component, TD1 = time delay of the fast component, τ1 = time constant of the fast component, MRT = mean response time (TD1 + τ1); VO2peak = peak oxygen consumption, HRpeak = peak heart rate, [La−] = blood lactate concentrations. a significant different from prior moderate and prior heavy exercises; b significant different from prior heavy exercise.
