Table 2. Peak oxygen uptake and oxygen uptake kinetics for peak and submaximal treadmill test.
Variable | Control (n = 25) | HF (n = 25) | P-value |
Maximal treadmill test | |||
VO2peak, mL/kg per min | 22.5 ± 1.2 | 12.9 ± 0.7 | 0.0001 |
Submaximal treadmill test | |||
VO2peak, mL/kg per min | 7.4 ± 0.3 | 7.2 ± 0.3 | 0.57 |
tcdeficit | 29.9 ± 3.6 | 60.0 ± 8.3 | 0.002 |
tcEPOC | 33.8 ± 3.1 | 52.2 ± 3.8 | 0.001 |
Data are presented as mean ± SE. tcdeficit: lag in oxygen uptake at the beginning of exercise (oxygen deficit); tcEPOC: excess oxygen uptake above rest following exercise (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption); VO2peak: peak oxygen uptake.
