Fig 4.
Represents scatterplots showing the Pearson’s correlation coefficient of MAS derived from the incremental treadmill test and 5-minute run (4A) and the incremental treadmill test and the 1200m ST (4B).
Fig 5.
Bland-Altman plots demonstrating the mean difference with 95% confidence intervals (lilac shaded area) and subsequent level of agreement for MAS for the incremental treadmill test and 5-minute run (5A) and the incremental treadmill test and 1200m ST (5B). The mean difference + 1.96 standard deviation (green shaded area) and mean difference– 1.96 standard deviation (orange shaded area) with upper and lower confidence intervals are also shown.
Table 2.
Represents the mean differences with upper and lower confidence intervals for all physiological variables collected during the field-based running trials when compared to the incremental treadmill test in professional rugby league players.
