In addition, the HR and VO2 at ST showed similar values between the ventilatory curve and heart rate deflection point methods [HRST: F(1,8) = 2.431, p = 0.163; VO2ST: F(1,8) = 2.730, p = 0.142]. The eta2 for HRST and VO2ST was 0.009 and 0.003 in the methods factor, respectively. In the protocols factor the eta2 for HRST and VO2ST was 0.35 and 0.90, respectively. Moreover, the eta2 in the interaction effect
(i.e., protocols*methods) was 0.02 for the HRST and 0.007 for the VO2ST.
