Means ± SD and 95% confidence interval (CI) of peak physiological values and end-test score measured during classic (MFT) and modified (MFT-8) multistage field tests in basketball wheelchair players (n = 16).

Breath frequency (RF), ventilation (VE), oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR), blood lactate ([Lact−]), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Δ[Lact−] represented the difference between rest and maximal blood lactate value measured during the exercise recovery.
aSignificantly different from MFT (P < 0.05); 1moderate effect; 2small effect.
