Data presented as mean ± SEM. EE: energy expenditure (kcal^.min^-1); HR: heart rate; HRR: heart rate reserve; MET: metabolic equivalent of the task (3.5 mL^.kg^-1.min^-1); %VT: % $\dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2\max$ above or below the ventilatory threshold. Significant differences are shown only for statistical comparison of total data.

^a significantly different to all other trials(p < 0.05).

^b significantly different than MOD-EX and ET-VG (p < 0.05).
