Notice, the control group was exposed to a constant amount of exercise throughout the protocol, 150 m per week.
In all experimental trials, participants completed a battery of visual tasks (see below, visual performance measures) before exercise (pre-exercise), and immediately after the exercise protocol (post-exercise).
The DipEx patients tolerated the protocol, exercising 4.2 ± 1.3 minutes on the treadmill (Bruce protocol).
All patients in the exercise group followed the exercise protocol.
The choice of the exercise protocol and the outcome variables depends mainly on the reason for conducting the test.
The exercise duration as well as the exercise protocol did not influence the reproducibility of the anaerobic threshold determination.
No changes were observed in hemodynamic parameters immediately after the end of the exercise protocol, despite exercise intensity.
It is likely that the relative contributions of different energy systems during repeated-sprint exercises depend on the exercise protocol (duration, number of repetitions, recovery duration, passive or active recovery) and training status.
And, at the same time, to develop the exercise protocols, the validated assessments, the professional standards and bodies, and the overall infrastructure to support the emerging "being fit" aspiration.
Another limitation to consider is that we assume that the exercise protocol is the cause of the reported of pain intensity and disability at 24 and 48 hours.
The treatment started one day before the beginning of the exercise protocol, and continued until the day of sacrifice.
