The values are means ± standard error of the mean for 21 young trained female (TF), 21 young untrained female (UF), 14 young trained male (TM), and 12 young untrained male (UM) subjects. ^aSignificant difference between the sexes for each training status (P <0.05). ^bSignificant difference between the untrained and trained subjects of each sex. AD, body surface area; MSF, mean skinfold thickness; VO_2max, maximal oxygen uptake.
