Multilevel allometric modelling of maximum cardiac output, maximum arteriovenous oxygen difference, and peak oxygen uptake in 11 –13-year-olds

Conclusions(1) With FFM controlled for, there were no sex differences in\({\dot{\text{Q}}}\) max or a-vO2 diff max, (2) FFM was the dominant influence on the development of peak\(\dot{{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}\), and (3) with FFM and either\({\dot{\text{Q}}}\) max or a-vO2 diff max controlled for, there remained an unresolved sex difference of  ~ 4% in peak\(\dot{{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_{2} .\)
