Mean HR response to cycling for 5min at 100W and running at 8km/h for all participants under all conditions (light training, heavy training and recovery period); comparison of mean rHRI, pre-exercise HR, steady-state HR and change in exercise HR between exercise modes. HR=heart rate, rHRI=maximal rate of heart rate increase. (a) moderate effect size, (b) small effect size, 1=almost certain chance of higher or lower values between exercise mode, 2=likely chance of higher or lower values between exercise mode, 3=possible chance of higher or lower values between exercise mode.

Relationships between changes in (a) rHRIcyc and absolute exercise performance, (b) rHRIcyc and relative exercise performance, (c) rHRIrun and absolute exercise performance and (d) rHRIrun and relative exercise performance that occurred after two weeks of light training followed by two weeks of heavy training. kJ=kiloJoules, kJ/kg=kiloJoules per kilogram, rHRIcyc=cycling maximal rate of heart rate increase, rHRIrun=running maximal rate of heart rate increase, Δ=change.
