| Note. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Letters (A, B, C) indicate significant differences between intensity levels compared with 70%, 80%, and 90% of MAS, respectively. Significant differences between legs (p < .05) are marked with an asterisk (*). IL = inner leg; OL = outer leg; PWR = power output; CAD = cadence; VO = vertical oscillation; GCT = ground contact time; SL = step length; SmO2 = muscle oxygen saturation; MAS = maximal aerobic speed. | |||||||
