Why the study?
Does heavy-intensity priming exercise with short or longer-term recovery alter pulmonary oxygen uptake during subsequent prolonged moderate-intensity exercise?
Does heavy-intensity priming exercise with short or longer-term recovery alter pulmonary oxygen uptake during subsequent prolonged moderate-intensity exercise?
Heavy-intensity priming exercise elevates pulmonary oxygen uptake and reduces its phase II time constant during subsequent moderate-intensity exercise, regardless of whether recovery is 6 or 20 minutes.

Priming effects on VO2 kinetics remain investigational; leaves open translation to clinical exercise tolerance or outcomes.
Spencer et al. (2012) studied this question.
