CA = cancer group; NC = non-cancer group; VO
2peak = peak volume of oxygen uptake; HR = heart rate; TOF = time of fatigue; BLa = blood lactate accumulation; SC = salivary cortisol concentration. *Significantly different (p < 0.05) versus the NC group. “d” indicates Cohen’s d as a measure of effect size.
