(NP) denotes non-parametric data. Parametric data presented as mean (standard deviation). Non-parametric data presented as median (interquartile range). CPET - Running Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test. GKT – Graded Karate Test. RER – Respiratory Exchange Ratio. V̇CO2 – Carbon dioxide production. V̇O2 – Oxygen uptake. V̇E – Minute ventilation. (*) denotes significant difference (p ≤ 0.05). Effect size (ES) was calculated with Hedge’s g for parametric data, and Z-value was divided by the square root of the sample size (r) for non-parametric data.
