Fig. 1. The effect of repeated high-intensity exercise and recovery on glycogen
levels in the soleus and white, red and mixed gastrocnemius muscles. On the
x-axis, E refers to exercise and Rec to recovery. The values shown
represent means ± S.E.M. (N=12). Identical
superscripts on different columns indicate the absence of significant
differences, whereas columns without a superscript differ significantly from
any column bearing a superscript (ANOVA followed by Fisher PLSD a
posteriori test; P<0.05).

Fig. 2. The effect of repeated high-intensity exercise and recovery on lactate
levels in the soleus and white, red and mixed gastrocnemius muscles. On the
x-axis, E refers to exercise and Rec to recovery. The values shown
represent means ± S.E.M. (N=12). Identical
superscripts on different columns indicate the absence of significant
differences, whereas columns without a superscript differ significantly from
any column bearing a superscript (ANOVA followed by Fisher PLSD a
posteriori test; P<0.05).

Fig. 3. The effect of repeated high-intensity exercise and recovery on glucose and
lactate levels in the plasma. On the x-axis, E refers to exercise and
Rec to recovery. The values shown represent means ± S.E.M.
(N=8). Identical superscripts on different columns indicate the
absence of significant differences, whereas columns without a superscript
differ significantly from any column bearing a superscript (ANOVA followed by
Fisher PLSD a posteriori test; P<0.05).

Fig. 4. The effect of repeated high-intensity exercise and recovery on plasma fatty
acids, glycerol, ß-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate levels. On the
x-axis, E refers to exercise and Rec to recovery. The values shown
represent means ± S.E.M. (N=8). Identical
superscripts on different columns indicate the absence of significant
differences, whereas columns without a superscript differ significantly
between each other and from any column bearing a superscript (ANOVA followed
by Fisher PLSD a posteriori test; P<0.05).

Fig. 5. The effect of high-intensity exercise and recovery on plasma fatty acids,
glycerol, ß-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate levels. The values shown
represent means ± S.E.M. (N=8). Identical
superscripts on different data points indicate the absence of significant
differences, whereas data points without a superscript differ significantly
between each other and from any data point bearing a superscript (ANOVA
followed by Fisher PLSD a posteriori test; P<0.05).
