Dietary and plasma blood α-linolenic acid as modulators of fat oxidation and predictors of aerobic performance

Table 2 Physiological characteristics of the skiers during bicycle ergometer testing

Physiological parameters	Skiers
Physiological parameters	Steady state	Peak load
Heart rate, b/min	59.9 ± 8.6***	181.4 ± 14.2
Systolic blood pressure, mm Hg	112.5 ± 12.4***	190.8 ± 13.6
Diastolic blood pressure, mm Hg	77.1 ± 7.0	75.1 ± 15.3
Oxygen utilization quotient, ml/l	32.1 ± 3.5***	30.9 ± 6.2
Oxygen consumption, ml/min/kg	4.6 ± 0.8***	59.7 ± 6.9

Note: The values are presented as the M ± SD. The significant differences were determined by the Friedman criterion between the indicators at rest (*** p < 0.001) relative to the peak load
