claimFemales have smaller lung volumes, airway size, and alveolar surface area for gas exchange compared to males.
referenceSun et al. (2002) established that poorer ventilatory efficiency reflects poorer matching of lung ventilation to perfusion, which leads to impaired gas exchange.
claimFemales demonstrate poorer ventilatory efficiency during the first two intervals of high-intensity interval exercise compared to males, reflecting poorer matching of lung ventilation to perfusion and impaired gas exchange.
