	Sham	RIPC	P value
Peak VO2 (ml/kg/min)	15.6+/−4.2	15.3+/−4.6	0.53
Secondary Endpoints:
Exercise duration (minutes)	10.3+/−3.0	11.0+/−3.0	0.13
Workload (watts)	108.5+/−29.8	103.0+/−32.6	0.07
AT* (ml/kg/min)	9.6+/−2.6	9.6+/−3.0	0.98
Peak VO2† (L/min)	1.45+/−0.36	1.42+/−0.42	0.39
VE/VECO2‡ slope	28.7+/−4.3	29.9+/−5.4	0.06

(N = 20).

Values expressed as means +/− standard deviation.

*AT: anaerobic threshold.

^†VO2: oxygen uptake.

^‡VE/VCO2: minute ventilation - carbon dioxide production ratio.
