  1. SD: standard deviation; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; MAP: mean arterial pressure; CP: circulatory power; ECP: exercise cardiac power; VO2: oxygen consumption.
  2. CP is given as a product of VO2 and systolic blood pressure (CPSBP) as well as a product of VO2 and mean arterial pressure (CPMAP). ECP is presented using the alternative VO2 reference value equations provided by Wasserman et al. [26], Koch et al. [25], and Jones et al. [24] and indexed correspondingly in the table as ECPWasserman, ECPKoch, and ECPJones.
