*
Between group p ≤ 0.05. VO2peak, peak oxygen uptake; VE, ventilation; RER, respiratory exchange ratio; HRpeak, peak heart rate; SPBpeak, peak systolic blood pressure; DBPpeak, peak diastolic blood pressure. Heart-rate recovery was the change in heart rate from peak heart rate to the heart rate measured 1 min after stopping the test.
