Stimulus Level during Endurance Training: Effects on Lactate Kinetics in Untrained Men

Table 4

Results for the secondary endpoints “velocity at anaerobic threshold” and “maximum lactate”. Mean values, standard deviations, and mean difference between the groups with 95% confidence interval, as well as significance values of the intergroup comparison and corresponding effect size (ES). Numerical value in parentheses: significance value of the change within the groups between base and final (16-week measurement).
