During RSA, energy cost (EC), metabolic power (MP), speed and total time as external load were measured. Desaturation and resaturation rates and muscular oxygen extraction (▽% SmO₂) of the gastrocnemius muscle, along with heart rate (HR) were used as indicators of internal load. ▽% SmO₂ was identified as the most sensitive variable to detect the minimal change during RSA.
