Fatigue threshold values across methodologies. All fatigue thresholds were derived from exercise test 1 and were assessed via repeated measurements ANOVA with a Bonferroni correction to control for type I error across multiple comparisons
| Method | absVO2 | relVO2 | %VO2max | W·kg−0.32 | %Wmax |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VEQ | 2.56 ± 0.49 | 640.8 ± 119.3 | 63.4 ± 8.1 | 49.3 ± 12.0 | 56.2 ± 9.0 |

| V‐Slope | 2.73 ± 0.70 | 682.0 ± 173.1 | 67.2 ± 13.1 | 53.4 ± 16.9 | 60.6 ± 15.3 |
| VTavg | 2.67 ± 0.57 | 667.1 ± 140.5 | 65.8 ± 9.4 | 51.8 ± 13.7 | 58.9 ± 10.9 |
Fatigue threshold variables consist of absolute (abs; l O2·min−1) and relative (rel; ml O2·min−1·kg−0.32) measures of oxygen consumption (VO2) or power output (W·kg−0.32), as well as % of maximal VO2 (%VO2max) or power (%Wmax) determined through different methods: ventilatory equivalent method (VEQ); excess carbon dioxide method (ExCO2); modified V‐slope method (V‐slope); and the average of VEQ, ExCO2, and V‐Slope methods (VTavg). Data reported as mean ± SD.
