Prior and posterior effect size distributions, together with the effect size point estimate and associated 95% credible interval arising from a one-sample Bayesian t-test using a test value of 40.
The value of 40 represents the lower bound of the recommended training intensity zone. The resulting Bayes10 factor provides weak evidence for the alternative hypothesis. BF = Bayes factor.

Mean HR (beats per min) and %HRR for an 8-week Phase III circuit-based CR programme.
Fig 2.
Prior and posterior effect size distributions, together with the effect size point estimate and associated 95% credible interval arising from a paired-sample Bayesian t-test examining the mean difference between %HRR-CV and %HRR-AR.
The Bayes10 factor provides strong evidence for the alternative hypothesis that %HRR-AR is lower than %HRR-CV. The effect size of 1.1 suggests a large difference between the two means. BF = Bayes factor.
