RT + CT, resistance training followed by continuous endurance training (n = 8); RT + HIIT, resistance training followed by high-intensity interval training (n = 8). TTE-VO2max, time to exhaustion during the VO2max test; BL-VO2max, blood lactate level after the VO2max test; MLSS, maximal lactate steady-state workload; ES, effect size.
