ABSTRACT
Sprint interval training (SIT) increases peak oxygen uptake (VÌO2peak) but the mechanistic basis is unclear. We have reported that 12 wk of SIT increased VÌO2peak and peak cardiac output (QÌpeak) and the changes in these variables were correlated. An exploratory analysis suggested that QÌpeak increased in males but not females. The present study incorporated best practices to examine the potential influence of biological sex on the QÌpeak response to SIT. Male and female participants (n = 10 each; 21 ± 4 y) performed 33 ± 2 sessions of SIT over 12 wk. Each 10-min session involved 3 × 20-s 'all-out' sprints on an ergometer. VÌO2peak increased after SIT (3.16 ± 1.0 vs. 2.89 ± 1.0 L/min, η2p = 0.53, p < 0.001) with no sex × time interaction (p = 0.61). QÌpeak was unchanged after training (15.2 ± 3.3 vs. 15.1 ± 3.0 L/min, p = 0.85), in contrast to our previous study. The peak estimated arteriovenous oxygen difference increased after training (204 ± 30 vs. 187 ± 36 ml/L, p = 0.006). There was no effect of training or sex on measures of endothelial function. We conclude that 12 wk of SIT increases VÌO2peak but the mechanistic basis remains unclear. The capacity of inert gas rebreathing to assess changes in QÌpeak may be limited and invasive studies that use more direct measures are needed.
