^a: percentage of maximum heart rate; ^b: time spent in each zone of exercise intensity during the racing time (zone I: below to the ventilatory threshold; zone II; between the ventilatory threshold and respiratory compensation point; zone III: above to the respiratory compensation point); TRIMP: training impulse.
