Research from Trabzon University in Hyperventilation Provides New Insights (Aerobic capacity and respiratory indices of junior cross-country skiers and biathletes during incremental exercise testing).

A recent study conducted by Trabzon University compared the aerobic capacity and respiratory indices of junior cross-country skiers and biathletes during an incremental exercise test. The study involved 37 male and 33 female Turkish National Team athletes. The results showed significant differences in physiological profiles between male and female athletes, as well as between cross-country skiers and biathletes. Male athletes had higher oxygen consumption and speed values than female athletes, while cross-country skiers and males had higher absolute and mass-normalized oxygen consumption values compared to biathletes and females. These findings provide new insights into the differences between these athlete groups. [Extracted from the article]
