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.
