Data are correlation coefficients (r) between perceptual responses and relative OBLA 2.5 mmol/L speed and RPE (percentage of individual anaerobic threshold as OBLA at 2.5 mmol/L) and are obtained across all weeks from all exercise sessions as total (20 participants × 9 sessions = 180) and in strata of exercise sessions (CE70, INT80, INT90: 20 participants × 3 sessions = 60).

FS, feeling scale; PACES, physical activity enjoyment scale; EES, exercise enjoyment scale; RPE, rating of perceived exertion; OBLA 2.5 mmol/L, onset blood lactate concentration at 2.5 mmol/L blood lactate concentration.

*Significant correlation at p < 0.05, ^** significant correlation at p < 0.01.
