Table 1. Laboratory tests (LabT). Data are given for relative power output (PO), oxygen uptake (VO
2), heart rate (HR), pulmonary ventilation (V
E), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and blood lactate concentration (BLa). Data are shown at maximal load, at the ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1) and at the ventilatory threshold 2 (VT2). Data are means (±SD) for all subjects (n = 24) and for a high performance athlete (HPA).
