Examining Sex Differences in Substrate Utilization During Threshold-Based Exercise Prescription
… “relative percent method” (TRAD) of prescribing exercise (e.g. % of maximal oxygen uptake [%VO2max]) elicits sex specific amounts of metabolic stress and ratios of carbohydrate to fat oxidation that result in a lower steady-state respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in females. Differences in …

A Comparison of Methods to Identify the Mean Response Time of Ramp-Incremental Exercise for Exercise Prescription
… output (PO) relationship from ramp incremental exercise (RAMP) is used to prescribe aerobic exercise. As PO increases, there is a delay in V̇O2 that contributes to a misalignment of V̇O2 from PO making precise prescription of exercise PO untenable. Three methods of determining Mean Response Time …

The acute response to sprint interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise in adults with and without airway hyperresponsiveness
Introduction: Sprint interval exercise (SIE) has been proposed as a time efficient way to improve physical activity levels; however, SIE has not been studied in adults with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Methods: Eight adults with AHR and eight adults without AHR completed both SIE (4x30 second …
