Baseline subject characteristics for male and female runners.
| Females | Males | |
| Age (yr) | 22.7 ± 0.7 | 20.6 ± 0.6 |
| Height (cm) | 166.9 ± 2.6 | 180.0 ± 5.0 |
| Height (kg) | 66.2 ± 4.7 | 70 ± 1.2 |
| Body Fat (%) | 28.8 ± 1.8 | 9.0 ± 0.5 # |
| Body Mass Index (BMI; kg*m2) | 22.9 ± 1.6 | 21.6 ± 0.4 |
| VO2 (mL*kg FFM1*min1) | 71.6 ± 4.5 | 78.0 ± 3.4 |
Values expressed as mean ± SEM. # Methods for determination of % body fat differed for males and females (i.e. hydrodensitometry vs DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), respectively. VO2peak, peak oxygen consumption; FFM, fat free mass.
