  1. Data are mean ± standard error (SE)
  2. A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures revealed a significant effect of VO2 max tertiles (P <  0.0001) and of time (P <  0.0001) for each group (men and women). There were no significant time* tertiles interaction effect for men and women. Values within the same column and same gender with different superscript letters (a,b) are significantly diffirent (P < 0.0001)
