Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of the experimental protocol. Anthropometric measurements (height, body mass and skinfold thickness at the right vastus lateralis) were performed first. After 10 min seated rest, capillary blood was collected for haematocrit (Hct) and haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]). Participants then completed an incremental treadmill test to exhaustion (25% incline; speed increased by 0.3 km h −1 min −1 ; women started at 3.5 km h −1 , men at 4.0 km h −1 ). During 40 min of seated recovery, capillary blood was sampled for lactate at multiple time points. Finally, a CO rebreathing procedure was performed in the supine position, fraction of carboxyhaemoglobin (fCOHb).

Article Snippet: Skinfold thickness was assessed on the right vastus lateralis, ∼10 cm above the knee joint, using the Holtain Skinfold Caliper (Holtain Ltd, Crymych, UK), which provides measurements with a precision of 0.2 mm.
