These measurements are shown in Table 1. The V̇O2max
was significantly increased after the intervention in both
absolute terms (by 8.4%, P = .013) and relative to body mass
(by 9.5%, P = .015). Maximum heart rate achieved during
the incremental tests did not differ between baseline and
post-intervention measurements (183 ± 4 vs 184 ± 5 beats
per minute, P = .866). Furthermore, mean power during the
30-second Wingate anaerobic test increased by 3.6% (P =.040); but peak power during the Wingate test did not change
significantly (P = .195).
