Table 2.
Physiological characteristics at baseline. Mean ± SE of the assessed physiological parameters and peak oxygen uptake. Repeated-measures ANOVA with a post-hoc test of least significant difference. PPP, positive peak power; NPP, negative peak power, pHR; peak Heart rate, pVO2; peak VO2max; m, male; f, female.
