Abstract
The submaximal and maximal responses to exercise on a stationary bicycle ergometer were studied on 68 male and female Kurdish and Yemenite Jews. When the communities from Kurdistan and the Yemen were compared no significant differences were found between the men or the women, either in the summer or in the winter. There was no evidence for either an ethnic or seasonally determined variation in work capacity.Keywords
