Abstract:Introduction and objective: Delta efficiency (DE) and oxygen uptake kinetics (K O 2 ) are influenced by muscle metabolic parameters and oxygen transport. The aim of this study was to determine the difference in DE and K O 2 in three effort intensities in both genders. Methods: Fifty-six subjects (26 women) were submitted to a graded maximal exercise test (GXT) on cycle ergometer to determine the maximum oxygen uptake ( O 2max ), maximal power output (W max ), anaerobic threshold (AT) and respiratory compensati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
