consisted of six laps around a marked 128.5 m running circuit
involving walking, jogging, 
fast running, sprinting and standing still .
Was allowed to 
complete each lap 30''-35''. Each lap was hand timed and feedback was
provided to the participant regarding remaining time before
the commencement of the next lap. There was 15–25'' srecovery
between the completion of the circuit and the commencement
of the next lap.  The participants were instructed to follow the
marked course as closely as possible. Distance and speed
were collected concurrently during each trial at 1-Hz using
six portable GPS devices  .
