This study investigates sex and strain\u2010specific differences following voluntary wheel running exercise training in submaximal and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and body composition in C57BL\/6 and BALB\/cJ mice. Male and female mice underwent 4\u2009weeks of voluntary wheel running, followed by sub\u2010maximal and maximal treadmill tests in a metabolic chamber. Results indicate differences in running volume across sexes and strains did not consistently predict changes in physiological adaptations. Female C57BL\/6 mice, which ran three times more than males on average, exhibited higher submaximal VO2 compared to their male counterparts and to female BALB\/cJ mice, despite no differences in RER. In contrast, male BALB\/cJ mice, which ran nearly double the distance of their female counterparts, showed a modest decrease in average RER. During maximal treadmill tests, male BALB\/cJ mice demonstrated enhanced endurance capacity, characterized by increased distance run and a trend towards lower RER and blood lactate levels at exhaustion, despite no significant changes in VO2 max. Regarding body composition, female C57BL\/6 mice experienced a reduction in fat mass and an increase in lean mass, whereas no significant changes were observed in BALB\/cJ mice of either sex. The study highlights the need to consider sex\u2010 and strain\u2010specific factors when evaluating metabolic and endurance adaptations, and suggests VO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    testing in mice may not reflect adaptive response to voluntary wheel running.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14814\/phy2.70604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,11]],"date-time":"2025-10-11T04:53:59Z","timestamp":1760158439000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sex differences in voluntary running behavior between\n                    <scp>C<\/scp>\n                    57\n                    <scp>BL<\/scp>\n                    \/6 and\n                    <scp>BALB<\/scp>\n                    \/\n                    <scp>cJ<\/scp>\n                    mouse strains do not correspond to changes in\n                    <scp>VO<\/scp>\n                    2 and\n                    <scp>RER<\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.14814","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Amiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"},{"name":"Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"McMillan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
