Maximal accumulated oxygen deficit of resistance-trained men.
Furthermore, previous studies have observed that the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (AOD; an index of anaerobic capacity) of females has been approximately 10-30% less with similar background [26, 27].
Maximal accumulated oxygen deficit expressed relative to the active muscle mass for cycling in untrained male and female subjects.
Using the
maximal accumulated oxygen deficit method, Mezzani et al.
Maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) proposed by Medbo and colleagues (18) is considered the gold standard test for anaerobic capacity.

Some studies have shown correlation between anaerobic work capacity and other anaerobic indexes, such as oxygen deficit and
maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (22) and Wingate test (19).
