Table 1.
Mean ± SD values for VO2 max, HRmax, R, Ve, and [La−]max obtained at the end of the incremental protocol and the time to exhaustion tests (n = 12).
| Incremental protocol | 95% of vVO2 max | 100% of vVO2 max | 105% of vVO2 max | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VO2 max (L·min−1) | 4.21 ± 0.61 | 4.36 ± 0.55 | 4.41 ± 0.74 | 4.24 ± 0.64 |
| VO2 max (mL·kg−1 ·min−1) | 60.75 ± 5.17 | 61.34 ± 5.58 | 60.05 ± 6.10 | 59.78 ± 6.45 |
| HRmax (beats·min−1) | 180.6 ± 6.96 | 176.75 ± 9.63 | 176.91 ± 8.57 | 177.00 ± 8.90 |
| R | 0.93 ± 0.05 | 0.95 ± 0.06 | 1.01 ± 0.09 | 0.97 ± 0.06 |
| Ve (L·min−1) | 112.04 ± 23.38 | 116.54 ± 21.94 | 115.75 ± 34.25 | 119.27 ± 17.17 |
| [La−]max (mmol·L−1) | 7.18 ± 2.52 | 8.04 ± 1.70 | 8.86 ± 1.63 | 8.45 ± 1.91 |
VO2 max = maximal oxygen uptake; HRmax = maximal heart rate; R = respiratory quotient; Ve = ventilation; [La−]max = maximal blood lactate concentrations.
