The aforementioned post-EIMD increase in VO2 during submaximal cycling is at odds with previous research.
Other study : increase in VO2 during submaximal cycling after muscle-damaging exercise postulated that may due to an increase in ventilation.
Lungs evoked an added metabolic cost in order to facilitate the augmented VE response.
Elevated VE responses concur with previous studies during submaximal running & cycling exercise.
