†
±90% confidence limits: add or subtract this number to the mean effect to obtain the 90% confidence limits for the true difference. (ES) = effect size; TTPO = Time-trial mean power output; TT time = performance time; PPO = peak power output; VO2 peak = peak oxygen uptake; OBLA = onset blood lactate accumulation; ECO = exercise economy; GE = gross efficiency.
