Physiological responses during 120 min of steady‐state exercise at ∼ 65% ${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2\mathrm{peak}}$

Parameter	Untrained	Trained
% of ${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2\mathrm{peak}}$ (ml.kg−1 min−1)	66 ± 4.5	65 ± 1.6
Workload (watts)	100 ± 21 *	190 ± 15
RER	0.91 ± 0.56	0.91 ± 0.38
RPE	12.4 ± 1.2	11.0 ± 1.5
Heart rate (beats min–1)	147 ± 9	143 ± 7

Data are the mean ± SD, n = 11 untrained and 7 exercise trained participants. ${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2}$, oxygen consumption, RER, respiratory exchange ratio, RPE, rating of perceived exhaustion.

^*Significantly different to corresponding trained value (P < 0.05).
