- Abstract:
- Purpose: Io evaluate sex differences in power output, fatigue and recovery during a RSE between male and female athletes matched for V02max-FFM. Methods: Thirty-nine male and female athletes initially completed the underwater weighing test for body composition and V02max test. Following this, twenty-six men and women were paired for V02maxFFM prior to completing the RSE protocol. Participants performed five 6-sec all-out sprints on a cycle ergometer interspersed with 30-sec of recovery, followed by, after 5-min active recovery, a 30-sec Wingate sprint. All sprints performed based on 7.5% body mass. Results: There were no differences between sexes during the five 6-sec sprints on the basis of V02-FFM and PPOFMM. During the first 5-sec of the 30-sec test women achieved a higher VOrFFM (34.57 ± 4.51 vs 30.19 ± 4.42 ml/kg-FFM /min) and a higher percentage of V02max-FFM (59.4 ± 8.8 vs 51.3 ± 7.8%) compared to men. Women had complete recovery of peak power output (PPO) during the 30-sec test expressed as a percentage of power output during SI (102.0 ± 8.0 vs 93.3 ± 10.8%) compared to men. A higher PPOFFM was found in women during the 30-sec test (13.2 ± 1.2 vs 11.7 ± 7.4W/kg-FFM). Conclusions: The findings suggest that for men and women initially paired for VCFmax-FFM, no differences occurred during the initial five 6-sec sprints. Flowever, following previous fatiguing RSE, women were better able to recover their initial sprint 1 PPO during the 30-sec sprint compared to men. Furthermore, during the 30-sec test, the higher V02-FFM and percentage of V02max-FFM achieved by women compared to men, suggests women have enhanced recovery following previously fatiguing exercise, due to their greater aerobic contribution during prolonged exercise.
