$\dot{V}{O}_{\mathrm{2max}}$, relative and absolute maximal oxygen consumption; $v\dot{V}{O}_{\mathrm{2max}}$, velocity associated to $\dot{V}{O}_{\mathrm{2max}}$; VT, oxygen consumption at the ventilatory threshold relative to $\dot{V}{O}_{\mathrm{2max}}$; La_max, maximal lactate concentration; HR_max, maximal heart rate.

^aSignificantly different than men for the same intensity (p < 0.05).
