Oxygen Uptake in Maximal Effort Constant Rate and Interval Running

Table 1

Mean average V̇O₂ (mL·min⁻¹), V̇O₂/V̇O_2max (%), and distance covered (metres) for the three treatments with 95% confidence intervals.

	Interval	Submaximal constant rate	Constant rate at lactate threshold
Mean average V̇O2	3451 (3269, 3633)^†	3141 (2969, 3314)^*∧	3464 (3285, 3643)^†
V̇O2/V̇O2max (%)	83 (79, 88)^†	76 (72, 80)^*∧	84 (80, 89)^†
Distance covered (metres)	4070 (3831, 4309)	4070 (3831, 4309)	4470 (4202, 4737)^*†

∗P < 0.05 versus respective value in the interval run.
^†𝑃<0.05 versus respective value in submaximal constant rate run.
^∧P < 0.05 versus respective value in constant rate at lactate threshold run.
