dLéger’s protocol starts at 8.5 km/h and increases 0.5 km/h each minute (Léger et al., 1984, 1988)
eEurofit protocol starts at 8.0 km/h and increases 0.5 km/h each minute, but the second stage increases by 1.0 km/h (Council of Europe Committee for the Development of Sport, 1988)
fQUB’s protocol starts at 8.0 km/h and increases 0.5 km/h each minute (Riddoch, 1990)
dDong-Ho’s protocol starts at 7.5 km/h and increases 0.5 km/h each minute (Dong-Ho et al., 2014).* p < 0.05
