Mean (± SE) values of the incremental test to exhaustion of Normoxic (N; n = 8) and Hypoxic (H; n = 10) groups.

W0: pre-; W4: post-training; VO2max: highest value of the oxygen consumption averaged over 30 s; PPO: peak power output; VEmax: highest value of ventilation averaged over 30 s; RPE: rate of perceived exertion. *P<0.05 for the differences within a group versus W0; §P<0.05 for the differences between groups at a matched time point.
