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. ASYM = asymmetry; PWR = power; CAD = cadence ; VO = vertical oscillation; GCT = ground contact time; SL = step length; SmO2 = muscle oxygen saturation; MAS = maximal aerobic speed.
