Table 1.
Baseline characteristics of the participants by 15-year age cohort for female and male (SD).
Table 2.
End criteria variables during maximal exercise by 15-year age cohort for female and male (SD).
Figure 1.
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) using different end criteria (dark grey) compared to volitional fatigue (all) (mean ± SD).
The light grey bars show VO2max in those subjects who did not fulfilled the end criterion. The % of participants who fulfilled the criterion is reported on each bar.
Figure 2.
Oxygen uptake (mL•kg−1•min−1) and minute ventilation (L•min−1) from table 3 plotted against time (min).
The arrows' pointing downward indicates a drop in ventilation followed by a levelling off in VO2 marked by a circle. The right pointing arrow indicates the expecting increase in VO2.
Table 3.
Raw data from baseline to limit of tolerance during a maximal progressive graded exercise test.
Table 4.
New recommendations for maximal effort for haemolysed post exercise blood lactate* and respiratory exchange ratio (RER).
