However, exercise tolerance during an incremental test to the limit of exhaustion either in normoxia or hypoxia was not different between IHT and INT.
Besides the use of MLSS as parameter for exercise prescription, an incremental test (IT) (0% graded test, increments of 3 m.min−1 every 3 min, starting at 5 m.min−1 until animal exhaustion) was also used to determine the maximum velocity (Vmax) in all groups (CG, LIG and HIG).

For instance, to describe an incremental test (VO2max) outcome, one cannot speak of the 'maximal aerobic speed' reached, but of the 'peak speed reached at VO2max' or 'vpeakVO2max' as justly used by Billat et al. [27].
It is possible to provide an incremental testing strategy aiming at reducing the cost of both static analysis and mutation testing using the correspondence information between these activities/artifacts.
Von Braun's approach to engineering was a conservative one, emphasizing the incremental testing of components.
In addition, the competing needs of registry activities (e.g., complete case ascertainment) versus QI efforts (e.g., incremental tests of change) must be balanced.
Secondly, together with several constitutive models for describing the shear plastic behavior of LYS with and without consideration of cyclic hardening, the accuracy of these models are verified by the cyclic incremental test results of LYSPD.
The ramp incremental test protocol consisted of 3 min of "unloaded" baseline cycling at 20 W followed by a linear 30 W min−1 increase in power output until volitional exhaustion.
The study was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of TNO, The Netherlands.> Subjects reported to the laboratory for preliminary testing consisting of an incremental exercise test and a 7.5-km familiarization time trial.
