Table 2 (a) Cut-off values and number of positive scores for the selected parameters; POMSfatigue (score), HRmax (bpm), glucoseend and lactateend (mmol L−1) and Borg RPEmean (scale 6–20) during HIIT. (b) A summary of subjects having n of 5 scores during each phase of training load. During MAL, all 11 subjects achieved more 3 or more scores, whereas non had 3 or more scores in BL, LT, MT1 and RE
