cardiorespiratory capacity. 21 After “removing” the impact of fat/load carriage, the residual male advantage in swimming 400 m remains at ∼8% (Figure 2 ). Numerous factors may account for this. Lower absolute cardiorespiratory capacity due to: reduced hemoglobin mass, blood volume, heart/lung size relative to

fluids on energy expenditure and running mechanics. This is an important gap in running science. What we currently know about effects of load carriage on running motion or rates of oxygen use and energy expenditure has been obtained from military personnel. Indeed, previous studies were designed to
