HR, RPE and affective response values during exercise interventions across the three experimental sessions and baseline CPET (mean ± 1 SD).
| Session | BL | 15 | 30 | 45 | ANOVA | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F | p | |||||
| HR | 128.29 ± 10.51 | 139.71 ± 10.26 | 141.32 ± 10.93 | 141.29 ± 10.38 | 0.769 | 0.472 |

Notes: BL = baseline CPET; HR = heart rate in beats per minute; RPE = rating of perceived exertion; feeling = affective response; ANOVA = analysis of variance; CPET = cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
