†  Significant difference between 100%HIIE (p < 0.01).# Significant difference between 85%HIIE (p < 0.01).* Significant difference between 70%HIIE (p < 0.01).Values are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Abbreviations: HR, heart rate; HRmax, maximal heart rate; V̇O2, oxygen uptake: V̇O2max, maximal oxygen uptake; %V̇O2max, percentage of maximal oxygen uptake; VT, ventilatory threshold.
