Figure 6.

Three weeks of SIT increased power at exhaustion but not VO_2max. (a) Maximal power reached at task failure and (b) VO_2max during an incremental cycling exercise test prior to the first SIT session (Untrained) and two days after the last SIT session (Trained). Individuals were either treated with vitamins (black symbols; n = 10) or placebo (white symbols; n = 8). Data from each individual (●,○) and mean data (±SD; ▲,Δ). Two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant training effect for maximal power in both groups (#, p < 0.05; ## p < 0.01); no training effect for VO_2max or difference between groups for any measurement was observed.
