* indicates difference between males
and females (p < 0.05). The
ventilatory threshold for each subject was determined by noting
the point where an abrupt increase in VE·VO2-1
occurred without a concomitant increase in VE·CO2-1
as a measure of the lactate threshold (Haverty
et al., 1988) and the heart rate measured at this point was considered
to be the heart rate at ventilatory threshold.
