FIGURE 2.

Overview of responders’ classification using the highest density interval (HDI) and region of practical equivalence (ROPE) method. The graph displays the $\mathrm{\Delta }{\dot{\mathrm{V}}\mathrm{O}}_{2max}$ (delta of maximal oxygen uptake) of each participant. The black dots show the $\mathrm{\Delta }{\dot{\mathrm{V}}\mathrm{O}}_{2max}$, curves are the normal distribution curves derived for each individual given the measurement error around the $\mathrm{\Delta }{\dot{\mathrm{V}}\mathrm{O}}_{2max}$ value. The horizontal black lines are the 89% HDI derived from each curve, and vertical dashed lines around zero are the calculated ROPE (i.e., −80 to 80 ml·min⁻¹). Please, refer to Table 3 for an overview of the levels of significance from the ROPE + HDI decision‐making method applied to responders’ analysis
