- Title
What's the difference? Understanding sexual dimorphism in physiology.
- Authors
Hool, Livia C.; Hryciw, Deanne H.
- Abstract
Physiological and molecular sex differences in human skeletal muscle in response to exercise training. This knowledge is important for developing sex-specific training routines particularly at the elite level of competition with the aim of enhancing performance, although a deeper understanding may also assist in protecting the individual from sports related injuries. Another reason for this is that research in exercise and injuries is skewed towards male athletes, leaving large gaps in knowledge about female sports and sports related injuries.
