Values are means ± SD. LoA, limits of agreement; CV, coefficient of variation; SIN, sine model; MV, measured values; P3, 3rd polynomial curve; Fatmax, exercise intensity at which maximal fat oxidation rate occurs; MFO, maximal fat oxidation rate; RER Fatmax, respiratory exchange ratio at Fatmax; % HRmax Fatmax, % maximal heart rate at Fatmax; %Inline graphic Fatmax, % maximal aerobic power output at Fatmax.

*P<0.05 between SIN and the other approaches (P3 and MV).
