Table 2 Speed and physiological variables values in continuous and intermittent running, showed as mean (±SD) and effect sizes (ES).
Variables Continuous Intermittent ES Descriptor
Speed (km·h-1) 14.4 (.6) * 15.3 (.7) 1.38 Large
VO2 (mL·kg-1·min-1) 53.4 (4.1) * 56.6 (4.3) .76 Moderate
VE (L·min-1) 101.6 (14.8) * 109.6 (16.6) .51 Small/Moderate
HR (beats.min-1) 166 (9) 169 (8) .47 Small
[La] (mmol·L-1) 4.2 (1.0) * 5.1 (1.8) .64 Small/Moderate
VO = oxygen uptake; VE = ventilation; HR = heart rate; [La] = blood lactate concentration.* p < 0.05 compared to intermittent exercise.
