  1. Table 2 demonstrates the influence of the dGTE on cardio-respiratory measures during submaximal steady state exercise across the intervention. Data are presented as mean ± SE. PL, Placebo; dGTE, decaffeinated green tea extract; $$ \dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2 $$ , submaximal oxygen uptake; $$ \dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{CO}}_2 $$ , submaximal expired carbon dioxide; RER, respiratory exchange ratio; HR, heart rate; RPE, rating of perceived exertion; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure. Adenotes significant overall group x time interaction effect (P ≤ 0.05). Bdenotes significant overall time interaction effect only (P ≤ 0.02). 1denotes significant within group time interaction effect only (P ≤ 0.045). *denotes significant difference within group to baseline (P = 0.015).
