Study design: the effects of training with different breathing patterns were evaluated from data obtained during the CO ventilatory sensitivity test and during incremental exercise tests with different breathing patterns (i.e. RBF, reduced breathing frequency and SB, spontaneous breathing). Peak power outputs obtained during the incremental exercise tests (PPO and PPO) were used to determine the power output during the constant load tests with different breathing patterns RBF and SB). As the obtained data (power output and Tmax, time to complete the test) were used for determining the training interval sets only, participants completed the constant load tests pre-training.
