Acute physiological response to a normobaric hypoxic exposure: sex differences
Camacho‐Cardenosa, Alba; Camacho‐Cardenosa, Marta; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Timón, Rafael; Olcina, Guillermo; Burtscher, MartinAlthough preliminary studies suggested sex-related differences in physiological responses to altitude/hypoxia, controlled studies from standardised exposures to normobaric hypoxia are largely lacking. Hence, the goals of this study were to provide information on cardiorespiratory responses to a 7-h normobaric hypoxia exposure and to explore potential differences between men and women. In this crossover study, a...
High cardiorespiratory fitness is more beneficial in pre-diabetic men than women
Gatterer, Hannes; Ulmer, Hanno; Dzien, Alexander; Somavilla, Matthias; Burtscher, MartinOBJECTIVES: To investigate gender-specific relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness and factors that predict the development of diabetes and to identify the risk factors that predict fasting plasma glucose and 2-hour plasma glucose levels. INTRODUCTION: Different risk factors (e.g., low cardiorespiratory fitness) may cause elevated plasma glucose levels in men compared to women. Therefore, gender-specifi...
