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
A stabilization of the gender gap in world records is observed after 1983, at a mean difference of 10.0% ± 2.94 between men and women for all events. The gender gap ranges from 5.5% (800-m freestyle, swimming) to 36.8% (weight lifting). The top ten performers’ analysis reveals a similar gender gap trend with a stabilization in 1982 at 11.7%.
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. ...

Sep 1, 2000 · To assess factors that limit human muscle strength and growth, we examined the relationship between performance and body dimensions in the world weightlifting champions of 1993–1997. Weight lifted varied almost exactly with height squared (Ht2.16), suggesting that muscle mass scaled almost exactly with height cubed (Ht3.16) and that muscle cross-sectional area was closely correlated with ...

Another study in the urban elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean found a positive association between height and later-life cognition, and this association was stronger among women than among men. 156 Separately, stunting has been noted as a marker for poor psychological performance 157 and as being associated with lower school attainment resulting from late school entry, more grade ...

Height and weight have been shown to directly affect Special Olympics performance. As discussed earlier, the weight (mass) of an athlete increases friction forces in corners and requires more strength to move the body forward and up. In many sports, being lighter represents a clear advantage. A great example would be for long distance runners.
