Sex-based differences in hematological values after normalization to body mass or fat-free mass in adults matched for aerobic fitness

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1517-1528, November 2024. Blood properties influence aerobic exercise performance. While vascular volumes and hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) are elevated in trained individuals, evidence of sex differences in vascular volumes is equivocal due to inadequate matching of aerobic fitness between males and females. This cross-sectional study aimed
