Table 3. The differences between changes in the HIIT results in the VLCHF and HD groups. Warm-up and cool-down excluded.
MID vs. PRE POST vs. PRE POST vs. MID
Peak V̇O2 0.7 ± 01.3, unclear -0.2 ± 1.1, unclear -0.9 ± 1.3, unclear

Mean HR 0.3 ± 0.0****, small 0.1 ± 0.1****, trivial -0.3 ± 0.1**, small
Mean RER -1.4 ± 0.1****, large -1.5 ± 0.1****, large -0.1 ± 0.1***, trivial
Mean Lactate 1.0 ± 0.5****, moderate 0.1 ± 0.6, unclear -0.9 ± 0.6***, moderate
RPE 0.3 ± 0.8, unclear -0.4 ± 0.9, unclear -0.6 ± 0.8**, small
PRE – before the experiment, MID – after 2 weeks of the experiment, POST – after the experiment, V̇O2 – oxygen consumption, HR – heart rate, RER – respiratory exchange ratio, RPE – rate of perceived exertion. The differences over time between the changes in the VLCHF and HD groups expressed as Effect Size ± 90% CI values, magnitude based inference and their likelihood are shown (*possible, **likely, ***very likely, ****most likely) (see also Methods).
