Why the study?

It is not known whether previously untrained male and female runners differ in performance-related responses to endurance running training.

Does an 11-week endurance running training program elicit different performance and cardiac autonomic responses in untrained men compared to women?

Comparison

Untrained men vs untrained women undergoing an 11-week endurance running training protocol

Follow-up

11 weeks

Discussion

Implication

Sex differences in untrained runners' endurance training responses remain unclear; leaves open need for individualized programs.

Structured PICO

Does an 11-week endurance running training program elicit different performance and cardiac autonomic responses in untrained men compared to women?

Population

16 untrained participants (8 men and 8 women) aged 20-35 years with no prior systematic running training, non-smokers, without cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hypertension, and BMI < 30 kg/m2.

Intervention

11-week endurance running training program alternating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), 3 times per week.

Comparator

The study compared the responses of men versus women (both groups received the same training program).

Outcome

Performance-related responses including peak running velocity (Vpeak), time limit (tlim) at 100% Vpeak, time to complete 5 km (t5km), and cardiac autonomic function (rMSSD of HRV) at week 11.surrogate

Untrained men and women exhibit similar improvements in running performance and cardiac autonomic function following an 11-week endurance training program combining moderate and high-intensity intervals.

Limitations

Small sample size (n=16)
The HIIT planned may not have been intense enough to allow differences between women and men to be observed
