Article Synopsis
  • * Eleven males and eight females performed exercise tests under control, glycogen depletion, and heat conditions, measuring lactate and estimating fat oxidation at different exercise intensities.
  • * Results showed that higher lactate levels were linked to lower fat oxidation across all conditions, with the glycogen depletion scenario yielding the highest fat oxidation and the heat scenario showing the highest lactate levels.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to explore the differences in lactate thresholds (LT1 and LT2) between females and males during exercise.
  • The results showed that while females had lower power outputs at LT1 and LT2, their power output relative to peak power was higher, and they also exhibited higher heart rates than males at the same thresholds.
  • The findings suggest that males and females may experience different metabolic responses at similar exercise intensities, indicating the need for sex-specific exercise recommendations.

The first aim was to explore the difference in metabolic flexibility between sexes in response to changing exercise intensity under control conditions. The second aim was to evaluate metabolic flexibility between sexes in response to exercise intensity adding two different metabolically challenging stimuli (glycogen depletion and heat). Eleven males (22 ± 3 years, 176.

Purpose: To analyze the influence of training status on the percentage of maximum oxygen consumption, heart rate and velocity (%VO, %HR and %V) at which ventilatory threshold 1 and ventilatory threshold 2 occur (VT1 and VT2, respectively), in males and females separately considering age, during a ramp incremental treadmill test.

Methods: 791 males (36.8 ± 9.

This review aims to systematically analyze the effect of exercise on muscle MCT protein levels and mRNA expression of their respective genes, considering exercise intensity, and duration (single-exercise session and training program) in humans and rodents, to observe whether both models offer aligned results. The review also aims to report methodological aspects that need to be improved in future studies. A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed and Web of Science databases, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was followed.

A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) intake during exercise and some variables that could moderate this effect on endurance performance. We included 136 studies examining the effect of CHO ingestion during endurance exercise in the meta-analysis. The overall effect on performance showed a significant increase after CHO intake compared to the placebo/control groups.
