Nov 28, 2021 · Purpose The aim of this study is to determine and to compare the effect of sex differences in percentage of body fat on the strength and power performances of the legs and arms during short maximal exercise. Methods 72 male and 64 female students aged 20 to 23 years were enrolled in this study. After assessing their morphological characteristics (body mass, height and percentage of fat mass ...

We hypothesized that in weightlifting 1. sex differences emerge during ages associated with the onset of puberty similar to other sports and vary by body mass, 2. body mass has less effect on performance in youth than in senior age categories, and 3. women and men peak at about the same age in their mid-twenties. Methods Study population
While many have implied that there is a beneficial effect of bariatric surgery and weight loss on cancer risk [128,146,147,148], one study also implied that bariatric surgery may be more effective in lowering cancer risk in females in contrast to males , although this has been limited by the relatively short mean time of follow-up and the smaller sample size of male participants [146,149].
Jan 1, 2016 · For example, some investigators have found that the upper-body SAT in both obese men and women are more resistant to the antilipolytic effects of insulin compared to lower-body fat depots [70], [74], [75]; however, FFA release by the upper-body SAT is higher in men than in women, indicating a higher resistance to the antilipolytic effect of meal ingestion (insulin) in the upper-body fat depot ...

The basis for the sex difference in muscle mass and strength is the sex difference in circulating testosterone as clearly shown (for example) by (1) the enhanced athletic performance of men compared with prepubertal boys and women ; (2) the close correspondence of muscle growth (muscle size) with muscle strength in ascending dose studies in men by Bhasin et al. (111, 117–119) and Finkelstein ...
Jun 27, 2018 · Background Body composition differs between men and women, with women having proportionally more fat mass and men more muscle mass. Although men and women are both susceptible to obesity, health consequences differ between the sexes. The purpose of our study was to assess sex differences in body composition using anatomic and functional imaging techniques, and its relationship to ...

The aim of this study was to compare male vs. female athletes in strength and power performance relative to body mass (BM) and lean body mass (LBM) and to investigate the relationships between muscle architecture and strength in both genders. Sixteen men (age = 26.4 ± 5.0 years; body mass = 88.9 ± 16.6 kg; height = 177.6 ± 9.3 cm) and fourteen women (age = 25.1 ± 3.2 years; body mass = 58. ...
