Schematic presentation of the two exercise training protocols consisting of 60 min of cycling (A) continuous cycling with an average power output of 157 ± 20 W eliciting ~60% of VO 2‐max or (B) continuous cycling for 60 min with an average power output of 157 ± 20 W eliciting ~60% of VO 2‐max interspersed by six 30‐sec sprints (473 ± 79 W) every 10 min followed by cycling at 102 ± 17 W for 3:24 min. On experimental days, muscle biopsies were taken at rest as well as immediately, and 120 min after exercise.
