Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine changes in VO2peak, VO2 kinetics and steady-state exercise performance following 4 weeks of participation in recreational sport. Subjects (male n = 8, female n = 9) participated in recreational sport (basketball, floor hockey and soccer) four times per week for 4 weeks. Both before and after training, VO2peak was measured on a cycle ergometer, VO2 kinetics was determined as the average of three transitions to 80 W, and heart rate (HR) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were measured during 60 min at a work rate corresponding to 50 % of pre-training VO2peak. HR was also monitored during all training sessions. After training, VO2peak was increased in females, but not males, while VO2 kinetics (τVO2) were sped in both males and females. HR during constant load exercise was reduced in both males and females, but exercise RER was only reduced in females. Mean HR during participation in sport was higher in males than females and higher during basketball than both floor hockey and soccer. These results demonstrate that training adaptations traditionally associated with endurance exercise can also be obtained through regular participation in recreational sport.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
