Females have lesser alveolar surface area than males, which results in poorer oxygen diffusing capacity during exercise and necessitates greater relative minute ventilation (VE) to achieve the same relative oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2), as reported by Bouwsema et al. (2017).
