Mod, moderate exercise. Max, maximal exercise. LF, low aerobic fitness. IF, intermediate aerobic fitness. HF, high aerobic fitness. VO, maximal pulmonary oxygen uptake; IVO, work-rate associated to VOMRT, mean response time of oxygen uptake kinetics. significantly different from LF at the same intensity. significantly different from IF at the same intensity.
