Values are means ± SD; %Δ, within group changes from pre- to post-training; ES, effect size. V̇O2max, maximum
oxygen uptake; vV̇O2max, velocity associated with V̇O2max; VT1, first ventilatory threshold; VT2, second ventilatory
threshold; Q̇max, maximal cardiac output; SVmax, stroke volume. N = 12 for each group.
‡ Significantly greater than pre-training value (P < 0.05).
