Averaged 1-min intervals of absolute (A) and relative (B) \(\:\dot{\text{V}}\)O2 and RER (C) during cycling and CLIMIT ramp tests. \(\:\dot{\text{V}}\)O2 and RER were only statistically compared until the 5th minute due to different sample sizes between both tests from the 6th minute to the end. \(\:\dot{\text{V}}\)O2, oxygen uptake; RER, respiratory exchange ratio; %, percentages of total exercise duration (highest values) between tests. Significant difference = *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001.
