Fig. 6.
Operating lung volumes during exercise. Gray shaded region represents the VT [i.e., the difference between end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and end-inspiratory lung volume (EILV)]. Values are means ± SE. Statistical comparisons of operating lung volumes between men and women for a given Ve were only performed at the 75-, 100-, and 125-W work rates because Ve was not significantly different between groups at these intensities. *Significantly different from men, P < 0.05. TLC, total lung capacity.
