%VOmax at 10,000 m: percentage of maximal oxygen uptake during a 10,000-m race; Fat: maximal fat oxidation rate; VO at Fat: oxygen uptake at intensity correspondent at Fat; RER at Fat: respiratory exchange ratio at intensity correspondent at Fat; %VOmax at Fat: percentage of maximal oxygen uptake that elicited Fat; speed at Fat: running speed that elicited Fat. Significant difference between groups (p < 0.05).
