Figure 1.
A representative figure from one participant depicting the oxygen uptake (V̇O2) response during the recovery period (off-transient kinetics). Data were fitted by a mono-exponential function with variables also presented in the figure (see equation 2 in the text). The time zero represents exercise cessation. Mean baseline ( BLOFF ), time delay ( TDOFF ), time constant of the exponential function ( τOFF ), and the steady-state amplitude ( AOFF) values of V̇O2 off-transient kinetics.
