tLIM,75 and tLIM,85: endurance to constant work-rate test at 75% and 85%, respectively, of the peak work rate; T1 and T2: the first and second trials, respectively, separated by 3 days; VC: vital capacity; V′E,75 and V′E,85: minute ventilation on exercise at 75% and 85%, respectively, of the peak work rate; ns: nonsignificant. Note: the tLIM and V′E values shown here correspond to only the 25 subjects involved in the test–retest reliability substudy.
