Table 4. VO2 changes recorded for selected submaximal workloads in the experimental and control groups (H, n=7; C, n=8) before and after the experiment. Data are means (±SD).
Variable Group H Group C
Before training (S1) After training (S2) Before training (S1) After training (S2)
VO2 -1LT (l·min–1) 3.68 (.19) 3.47 (.16)*** 3.39 (.82) 3.27 (.16)**
VO2 LT (l·min–1) 4.09 (.24) 3.91 (.17)*** 3.71 (.10) 3.63 (.14)**
VO2 +1LT (l·min–1) 4.50 (.25) 4.23 (.15)*** 4.07 (.19) 3.97 (.20)**
VO2 -1LT – VO2 during one workload below LT; VO2 LT – VO2 at LT workload, VO2 +1LT – VO2 during one workload above LT.** and *** denote statistically significant (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively) differences in relation to the initial measurements.
