Physiological responses during the exercise task. Results of (A) capillary oxygen saturation (SpO₂), (B) muscle oxygen saturation of the right vastus lateralis of the quadriceps femoris muscles (SmO₂), (C) heart rate, and (D) core temperature (T_core) in function of time in the HYP and CON groups. BL baseline, ES exercise-set, ^aP < 0.001 HYP vs. CON, ^bP < 0.05 HYP vs. CON, ^cP < 0.001 HYP compared with baseline, ^dP < 0.05 HYP compared with baseline, ^eP < 0.001 CON compared with baseline, ^fP < 0.05 CON compared with baseline
