Table 3. Effect of running training and running training combined with Pilates on performance and respiratory variables.

Data Represent the Mean Values (Standard Error) for 5-km Running Time, Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO_2max), Metabolic Cost at 10 km.h^-1 (C_met10), Metabolic Cost at 12 km.h^-1 (C_met12), Speed at the Second Ventilatory Threshold (VT2), and Oxygen Consumption at the Second Ventilatory Threshold (VO₂ VT2).
