Relationship (r = 0.82) between the change (delta) in Tissue Hb/Mb-O₂ (mV) vs. 20TT Taper Performance time (minutes) for all subjects combined (n = 11) after tapering. Note that a negative value for performance time indicates an improvement in performance (i.e., a faster 20TT ride). Delta scores were determined by post-taper minus pre-taper values. Each symbol represents a different taper group (● T30; ■ T50; ▲ T80).
