Sex Differences in Exercise Responses to Constant Load Cycling and Repeated-Sprint Ability in Hot-Dry and Hot-Humid Conditions
Despite higher cardiovascular strain in females, both sexes showed comparable rectal temperature to constant load cycling, indicating similar heat tolerance in the two hot conditions. The lack of differences in repeated-sprint ability between hot environments, despite 40 min of submaximal cycling, suggests that RH and ambient temperature impose comparable performance challenges during "all-out" efforts.
