Sample characteristics.

<p>Descriptive statistics are presented as mean value ± standard deviation.</p

Interaction of time (TT_b vs. TT_i) and group (<i>HS</i>, <i>LS</i>, <i>C</i>) on physiological effort presented as mean blood lactate (mmol/l) over 45 minutes above post warm up blood lactate.

<p>* p < .05.</p

Group assignment.

<p>HS = high salience, LS = low salience, C = control.</p

Overview of experimental procedure.

<p>OE, objective effort; PE, physiological effort; SE, subjective effort.</p

Change in objective effort (OE) from TT_b to TT_i given in percent change.

<p>* p < .05, *** p < .001.</p
