Effects of Modified Multistage Field Test on Performance and Physiological Responses in Wheelchair Basketball Players

Table 2

Means ± SD and 95% confidence interval (CI) of peak physiological values and end-test score measured during classic (MFT) and modified (MFT-8) multistage field tests in basketball wheelchair players ().

Breath frequency (RF), ventilation (V_E), oxygen uptake (VO₂), heart rate (HR), blood lactate ([Lact⁻]), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). [Lact⁻] represented the difference between rest and maximal blood lactate value measured during the exercise recovery.
^aSignificantly different from MFT ( < 0.05); ¹moderate effect; ²small effect.
