Metabolic adaptation
HRmax and RER were significantly higher during the PSP test compared to the PIP test.
The PSP protocol may elicit a greater cardiovascular and metabolic response than the PIP protocol.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
But HRmax (196 +/- 5 vs 189 +/- 5 beats x min(-1); PSP vs PIP; P < 0.01) and RER (1.14 +/- 0.05 vs 1.07 +/- 0.04; PSP vs PIP; P < 0.01) were significantly higher during the PSP test.
Why this rating
The results are statistically significant and derived from a controlled study.
