Effect sizes and 90% CL are compared between RT and WT runners.
CL, confidence limits; HR, heart rate, RPEpeak, peak rating of perceived exertion; RT, recreationally trained;VO2max, maximal volume of oxygen uptake; VT1 (%VO2max), per cent of VO2max associated with the first ventilatory threshold; vVT1 (km/h), running velocity associated with VT1; WT, well-trained.
