Lactate and perceptual values

Pre-TT

Lactate, mmol/l 1.5 ± 0.5 1.7 ± 0.5 1.3 ± 0.4 9.1 ± 3.0* 7.2 ± 2.4 6.0 ± 2.4
Rating of perceived exertion 6 ± 0 6 ± 0 6 ± 0 15 ± 1 15 ± 2 15 ± 2
Thermal sensation 3 ± 1* 1 ± 0 1 ± 0 5 ± 1* 3 ± 1 2 ± 1
Thermal comfort 1 ± 0* 4 ± 1 4 ± 1 2 ± 1* 3 ± 1 3 ± 1

Pretime trial (TT) values were taken immediately before the start of the TT. TT values represent mean values over the course of the TT (perceptual scales) and immediately upon TT completion (lactate).
