New Findings What is the topic of this review? We review sex differences within
physiological systems implicated in exercise performance; specifically, how they integrate to …

Fatigue has been defined differently in the literature depending on the field of research. The
inconsistent use of the term fatigue complicated scientific communication, thereby limiting …

The maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) and the critical power (CP) are two widely used
indices of the highest oxidative metabolic rate that can be sustained during continuous …

In recent years, there has been a significant expansion in female participation in endurance
(road and trail) running. The often reported sex differences in maximal oxygen uptake (V …

Sustained physical exercise leads to a reduced capacity to produce voluntary force that
typically outlasts the exercise bout. This “fatigue” can be due both to impaired muscle …

Lactate or gas exchange threshold (GET) and critical power (CP) are closely associated with
human exercise performance. We tested the hypothesis that the limit of tolerance (Tlim) …

The duration that exercise can be maintained decreases as the power requirements
increase. In this review, we describe the power–duration (PD) relationship across the full …

Neuromuscular fatigue compromises exercise performance and is determined by central
and peripheral mechanisms. Interactions between the two components of fatigue can occur …

Aim: Previous research into the etiology of neuromuscular fatigue following competitive
soccer match-play has primarily focused on peripheral perturbations, with limited research …

Key points Females demonstrate greater fatigue resistance than males during contractions
at intensities relative to maximum force. However, previous studies have not accounted for …
