I remember running out of stamina/endurance (the yellow bar) would nerf your attack speed. I remember having 100 stamina (stat) was an important way to counter this (not sure if it increased regen or just prevented [most of] the negative effects of an empty bar). Other important things: light weapons, and long-duration buffs that countered the drain (augmentation line, acumen). I don't remember how the yellow bar affected disciplines in this era... maybe they would just fail if your bar was empty/too low. However, disciplines actually consuming endurance came much later.
At any rate, it was a matter of no small concern for classic era melees...
