2 Figure 1 One-legged cycling. The subject is shown (having given informed consent) pedaling with his right leg while resting his left leg on the crossbar, midway on the head tube. CHEST  , DOI: ( /chest ) Copyright © 2008 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Relative exercise intensity (mean ± SE) throughout the training program for the one-legged (squares) and two-legged (circles) training groups. Average exercise intensity was expressed as a percentage of the Ppk achieved during the pretraining incremental exercise test. Note that both training groups progressed with time; however, they remained at separate overall training intensities. Also shown is the calculated muscle intensity per leg for the two-legged group (gray circles). CHEST  , DOI: ( /chest ) Copyright © 2008 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 Mean ± SE HR (top panels) and e (bottom panels) for the one-legged and two-legged groups before (open symbols) and after (closed symbols) training, plotted against o2, during incremental exercise. Broken horizontal lines are predicted maximum HR and maximal voluntary ventilation. *Significant within-group difference in slope, p < †Significant between-group difference in posttraining slope, p < 0.05.
