Table 3: Differences in measured respiratory variables under two cadence conditions. bpm = breaths per minute. Pearson r-correlation values are shown P-values.

Respiratory variables Mean ± SE Range Correlation with Δ V̇O2
Δ VO2 (ml O2/kg/min) 1.7 ± 2.0 -15.3-11.3 na
Δ FiO2-FeO2 (%O2) -0.33 ± 0.10 -0.82-0.59 0.271 (P = 0.370)
Δ VE (L/min) 6.9 ± 3.7 -16.2-37.2 0.850 (P < 0.001)
Δ Respiration rate (bpm) 7.0 ± 1.4 0.0-16.0 0.316 (P = 0.294)
Δ Tidal volume (L/breath) -0.20 ± 0.06 -0.54-0.17 0.655 (P = 0.015)
