Implication

Findings reveal significant sex differences in physiological variables and performance measures at ventilatory thresholds, indicating implications for training.

Key Points

Males exhibited higher absolute running speeds at both ventilatory thresholds, demonstrating distinct physiological advantages in performance.
At VT2, females showed greater muscle oxygenation and fractional utilization of maximal aerobic speed compared to males, indicating different metabolic efficiencies.
A graded exercise test assessed various physiological factors, including oxygen consumption and respiratory exchange ratio, across trained male and female runners.
Despite differing physiological outcomes, the rate of perceived exertion remained consistent between sexes, suggesting similar exertion perceptions during exercise.
