Table 2.
Work done, power decrement, lactate concentration and RER in all out exercise (60 times for 8s interspersed by 12s of passive recovery). Data are means (±SD).
| Men (n = 10) | Women (n = 9) | |
|---|---|---|
| Work perfomed (kJ) | 146(26) * | 82(12) |
| Work performed (kJ.kg-1) | 1.9 (.2) * | 1.3 (.1) |
| Power decrement (%) | 30(11) * | 11(3) |
| [La] delta | 7.1 (.9) | 5.9 (2.3) |
| [La] peak | 8.6 (.9) * | 7.1 (2.2) |
| REReffort | 1.02 (.06) | .99 (.03) |
| RERpause | 1.03 (.06) * | .99 (.03) |
RER = ratio exchange respiratory
* = different from women (p < 0.05).
