Exercise performance. Open and closed bars represent experimental (EG, ) and control (CG, ) groups, respectively. (a) Relative oxygen uptake at peak exercise; hemochromatosis group achieved less aerobic capacity (). (b) Relative oxygen uptake efficiency slope; hemochromatosis group achieved less index of aerobic capacity (). (c) Relative oxygen uptake at the ventilator threshold; hemochromatosis group achieved less ventilatory threshold (^•). (d) Relative work rate at peak exercise; hemochromatosis group performed less work rate ().
