Relationships between variations of Δ$\text{mes-E}{\text{R}}_{{\text{O}}_2}$, Δmes-Lactate, and %mes-Lactate variation. A: scatterplot depicting the relationships between Δ$\text{mes-E}{\text{R}}_{{\text{O}}_2}$ vs. Δmes-Lactate. Spearman Rho test, R² = 0.68, P < 0.001. B: scatterplot depicting the relationships between Δ$\text{mes-E}{\text{R}}_{{\text{O}}_2}$ vs. %mes-Lactate variation. Spearman Rho test, R² = 0.86, P < 0.001. All percentage or absolute variations (Δ) were calculated as the variation between actual and its immediately preceding value (A and B).
