Abstract
Comparisons were made between untrained college-age males and females in selected physiological alterations as a result of training. Experimental groups trained three times weekly for eight weeks at a heart rate (HR) intensity between 75% and 85% of HR max with total distance run held equal between sexes. MANOVA revealed a significant training effect for the experimental groups as well as a significant difference between sexes in response to training. Univariate ANCOVA revealed a significant training effect for [Vdot]O2 max expressed in ml/kg.min−1 and 1.min−1, [Vdot]Emax expressed in 1.min−1 and 1/kg.min−1, O2 pulse at [Vdot]O2 max and body weight. Sex differences were found for [Vdot]E max (1.min−1), and weight. No significant training effect was found for HR max or VE at [Vdot]O2 max.
