*Statistically significant difference between male and female participants with p<0.001 for height, weight, absolute FEV1, absolute FVC, relative FVC, VO2 and max power.
F, female participant; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEV1/FVC, ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity; FVC, forced vital capacity; M, male participant; Max, maximum; Min, minimum; VO2, maximal oxygen consumption.
