Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Performance Adaptations to High-Intensity Interval Training: Are There Differences Between Men and Women? A Systematic Review with Meta-Analyses by Merilyn Lock (9440240)

“…Meta-analyses revealed similar increases in V̇ O_2max in women (g = 0.57; 95% CI 0.44–0.69) and men (g = 0.57; 95% CI 0.42–0.72), and powerAT in women (g = 0.38; 95% CI 0.13–0.64) and men (g = 0.38; 95% CI 0.11–0.64). Raw mean differences for change in V̇ O_2max were Δ 0.32 L·min⁻¹ and 3.50 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹ in men, versus Δ 0.20 L·min⁻¹ and 3.34 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹ for women. …”
