MB and type 2 diabetes mellitus: The observed PE-induced reduction in the V·O2 As during high-intensity cycling in T2D, is all the more pertinent given individuals with T2D possess a 2-fold increase in type IIb fibers (Mogensen et al., 2007), demonstrate attenuated motor unit firing patterns in the VL compared with healthy controls (Watanabe et al., 2012; Watanabe et al., 2013) and tend to have lower dissociating capacity of myoglobin at intensities above VT (Miyamoto et al., 2020).
