Sex differences in postexercise HR after absolute workloads vanish at relative intensities or after resting HR adjustment; hypothesis-generating for standardized pediatric protocols.
Does heart rate recovery after submaximal exercise differ between boys and girls?
Heart rate recovery differences between boys and girls after submaximal exercise are eliminated when exercise is performed at a relative intensity or adjusted for resting heart rate.
