Three weeks of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training decreased the time constant of the primary phase of oxygen uptake (V̇o 2 ) and amplitude of the V̇o 2 slow component during a high-intensity exercise initiated from an elevated baseline, a protocol that mimics the abrupt metabolic transitions akin to those in daily life, in type 2 diabetes. These V̇o 2 kinetics improvements were maintained until the end of the 12-wk intervention without changes in muscle deoxygenation kinetics.
