Participant characteristics for the paratriathlon (PARA), able-bodied acclimation (AB-ACC), and able-bodied control (AB-CON) groups.

Parameter	PARA (four males, three females)	AB-ACC (nine males, four females)	AB-CON (eight males)
Age (y)	31 ± 9*	25 ± 7	21 ± 2
Body mass (kg)	67.8 ± 9.0	69.3 ± 9.4	70.0 ± 6.9
Cycling $\stackrel{Ë™}{V}{\mathrm{O}}_{2\mathrm{peak}}$ (ml·kg−1·min−1)	57.7 ± 7.6	61.5 ± 6.4	62.7 ± 8.1
MAP (W)	324 ± 73	340 ± 74	379 ± 45
AeLT (W)	181 ± 48	187 ± 42	192 ± 28

$\stackrel{Ë™}{V}{\mathrm{O}}_{2\mathrm{peak}}$, peak rate of oxygen uptake; MAP, maximal aerobic power output; AeLT, aerobic lactate threshold power output.

^*Significantly greater than AB-CON (p = 0.039).
