Values are mean ± standard deviation. Independent t‐tests with Cohen's d were used to assess the differences in demographic and environmental factors between sex. Cohen's d effect size thresholds were <0.2 (negligible), 0.2–0.5 (small), 0.5–0.8 (moderate), and >0.8 (large). All demographic factors were measured at the beginning of each testing session. Centimeters (cm), kilograms (kg), body mass index (BMI), meters (m), millimeters of mercury (mmHg), percent (%), and degrees Celsius (°C).
