Table 2.
Outcome variables at baseline and after eight weeks for participants in the Low and High groups.
| Low at Baseline (n = 6) | Low After 8 Weeks (n = 6) | High at Baseline (n = 3) | High After 8 Weeks (n = 3) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body Mass (kg) | 66.8 ± 7.3 | 65.8 ± 7.3 | 65.5 ± 11.5 | 65.4 ± 11.4 |
| Body Fat (%) | 19.3 ± 8.6 | 19.7 ± 7.3 | 15.8 ± 8.0 | 15.6 ± 7.3 |
| VO2max (L/min) | 3.38 ± 0.84 | 3.58 ± 0.92 | 3.60 ± 0.47 | 3.9 ± 0.60 |
| Relative VO2max (ml/min/kg) | 50.4 ± 9.0 | 54.0 ± 8.7 | 55.8 ± 3.2 | 60.3 ± 1.4 |
| VO2θ (L/min) | 2.92 ± 0.77 | 3.08 ± 0.75 | 2.90 ± 0.35 | 3.3 ± 0.35 |
| VO2θ/VO2max (%) | 86.0 ± 2.5 | 86.3 ± 2.1 | 79.9 ± 2.1 | 83.5 ± 4.0 |
| VEθ (L/min) | 3.25 ± 0.82 | 3.45 ± 0.88 | 3.50 ± 0.46 | 3.8 ± 0.51 |
Values are mean ± SD. VO2max = maximum oxygen uptake; relative VO2max = maximum oxygen uptake normalized by body weight; VO2θ = oxygen uptake at metabolic threshold; VO2θ/VO2max = metabolic threshold as a percent of maximum oxygen uptake; VEθ = oxygen uptake at ventilatory threshold.
