Upper- vs. Lower-Body Exercise Performance in Female and Male Cross-Country Skiers
Purpose: To investigate the interaction between exercise modality (i.e., upper- and lower-body exercise) and sex in physiological responses and power output (PO) across the entire intensity spectrum (i.e., from low to maximal intensity).Methods: Ten male
