Sex differences in the ventilatory responses to exercise in mild to moderate obesity.

Studies in adults without obesity with sample sizes ranging from 18 to 231 and ages ranging from 19 to 80 years have reported lower values of V ̇ Epeak as a fraction of capacity in females (range of difference, males–females: 0–8%MVV or maximal ventilatory capacity), although these sex differences did not reach statistical significance (Blackie et al., 1991 ; Cory et al., 2015 ; Dominelli, Molgat‐Seon et al., 2015 ; Dominelli, Render et al., 2015 ; Mitchell et al., 2018 ; Ofir et al., 2008 ; Schaeffer et al., 2014 ).
