Absolute and relative exercise intensities at maximal effort in obese, sarcopenic obese, and T2DM subjects.

	OB	OS	T2DM
Ventilation (L min−1)	50.0 ± 7.8	51.7 ± 7	48.5 ± 5.8
${\dot{\mathrm{V}}\mathrm{O}}_{\text{2peak}}$ (mL kg−1 min−1)	18.1 ± 3.2	16.9 ± 2.9	16.7 ± 4.8
${\dot{\mathrm{V}}\mathrm{O}}_{\text{2peak}}$ (mL min−1)	1711 ± 462	1517 ± 319	1706 ± 616
METpeak	5.2 ± 0.9	4.8 ± 0.8	4.8 ± 1.4
%HRmax⁡	81.2 ± 9.6	75.3 ± 11.5	76.3 ± 9.3

Notes: OB: obese subjects; OS: sarcopenic obese subjects; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; ${\dot{\mathrm{V}}\mathrm{O}}_{\text{2peak}}$: peak oxygen uptake; MET: metabolic equivalent; %HR_max⁡: percent of maximal heart rate. No statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between OB, OS, and T2DM subjects.
