Physiological responses and stroke parameters during the 1,000-m TT before and after the 3-weeks training camp. First vertical dashed line represents the start of the TT; second dashed line represents the end of the TT post training and third dashed line the end of the TT pre-training. *p < 0.05 between pre and post training. (A) Muscle oxygenation in the biceps brachii for 5-s segments 30 s before, during, and 120 s after the 1,000-m TT; (B) O₂ consumption for 10-s segments 30 s before, during, and 120 s after the 1,000-m TT; speed (C), stroke rate (D), and stroke length (E) for 10-m segments up to 50 m and 50-m segments from 50 to 1,000 m.
