Alltheabove measures showed a significan between-trial difference（p〈0.02）.However,heart rate,respiratory exchange ratio,end-tidal oxygen pressure,and ventilatory equivalent for oxygen showed only significan between-trial difference（p〈0.05）,but without interaction of trial and time.Conclusion：Yelling enhances the peak O2 pulse and VO2 and maintains CO2-exclusion efficien y during high-intensity exercise.It may enable maintaining muscle activation without stronger EMG signals being required during high-intensity exercise.展开更多

However, as time evolved, different types of Can-Do structured products were developed. Can-Do structured product, called XFWQ, is used as an example in this empirical study. As previous empirical studies by Georgieva （2005） and Subandh （2007） have confirmed that there are embedded exotic options within structured products that generally make these products to be expensive, and in most cases less profitable compared with plain-vanilla assets, the empirical study confirmed that there is an embedded shout option with the Can-Do structured product. Furthermore, the empirical study shows that there is extra value to the structured product indicated by European long call option that does not accrue to the investors when time of expiration reaches maturity.展开更多
