Table 2. Time orientated responses across the four trials. Data are means (±SD).

Total (s) 834.6 (53.7) 841.5 (45.5) 832.4 (35.3) 842.5 (35.8)
VO2max-arr (s) 813.6 (52.2) 817.5 (38.7) 811.4 (33.3) 818.5 (32.9)
VO2max-Tlim (s) 21.0 (12.6) 24.0 (14.5) 21.0 (12.6) 24.0 (14.5)
GET (s) 479.0 (52.2) 484.9 (65.3) 485.2 (58.9) 481.8 (44.4)
GET – VO2max(s) 337.2 (51.0) 332.6 (71.3) 326.3 (49.7) 341.5 (34.1)
Where Total = total exercise time from trial onset to volitional exhaustion, VO2max-arr = time taken from exercise onset to the onset of VO2max, VO2max-Tlim = time from VO2max arrival to volitional exhaustion, GET = time taken from exercise onset to the gas exchange threshold and GET – VO2max = time taken from gas exchange threshold to the point of volitional exhaustion.
