- Body weight at younger ages has less impact on performance compared to older ages, and boys and girls perform similarly. When reaching the ages typically associated with the onset of puberty, boys’ performances rapidly increase and the gap between genders widens. Women achieve peak performance at a similar age than men.

We studied the effect of body mass on performance, identified the timing and size of emerging sex-related differences in weightlifting performance from childhood to adolescence, and estimated performance trajectories from childhood to seniors at different performance levels for male and female athletes.

We enrolled a total of 72 male and 64 female Tunisian students aged 21 ± 2 and 22 ± 3 years old, respectively. The inclusion criteria were: (a) healthy student volunteers who practiced similar volume of physical activity as part of their university physical weekly training, i.e. 5 h per week; (b) male subjects exhibiting a % body fat around 17%; (c...
Body mass
Body mass was measured using a Tanita balance (model TBF-300). The subject must stand upright without assistance. It must stand still in the center of the weighing pan, the body weight evenly distributed over the two feet slightly apart. Shoes and clothing should be removed, except for underwear that can be kept. Body mass was recorded in kilograms ± 100 g.
Height
Subject height was measured using a measuring rod (graduated in centimeters; a standard anthropometric kit; Harpenden type, Switzerland) comprising a horizontal cursor which is brought into contact with the highest point of the head. The subject must be barefoot, and little dressed so that the experimenter can observe the positioning of his body as well as his posture. He should stand as straight as possible on a flat surface, the weight distributed evenly on both feet, heels joined, and the...
Body mass index
Body mass index (BMI in kg/m2) was calculated for each subject by dividing body mass (in kg) by the square of the height (in m).
Male students were weighted by wearing a loaded worn vest (CAPITAL SPORTS Monstervest). This vest features weight separately removable 30 kg metal weights and a soft padding all around and a adjustable nylon strap with Velcro. The ballasted weight (kg) was calculated as follows: 1. 1. ∆ Female/Male (%) body fat = % Female mean body fat − %Male mean...
Hand strength test
The handgrip (HG) force can be quantified by measuring the static force that the hand can exert around on a hand-held manual dynamometer (Takei Physical Fitness Test). The test protocol consisted of three maximal voluntary isometric contractions. Instructions and demonstrations were given to the participants according to the standard recommendations . The subjects were seated, elbows bent 90° and supported at the time of the measurement . We asked the subject to grasp and squeeze the...
Back strength test
Back strength (BS) was measured in kilograms (kg) using a back and leg dynamometer (type Takei Physical fitness test), previously described by Koley et al. [24, 25]. The subjects stood on the foot of the dynamometer, feet shoulder-width apart, and grabbed the handlebars positioned on the thigh. The length of the dynamometer chain has been adjusted so that the legs are straight, and the back is bent at an angle of 30° to position the bar at the kneecap. The subjects were then asked to straight...
Five jumps test
The 5 JT is a test reflecting the explosive force of the lower limbs. He was carried out in a covered sports hall, with a floor covered with wooden parquet. The distance in meters made by the subject during the five jumps was measured using a double decameter. The average performance per hop was obtained by dividing the total length of the 5JT by five (in m). From the right station, legs spread shoulder-width apart, the subject performs five leaping strides. He jumped on one leg (right or lef...

Males exercised at a larger VO2 than females during Moderate intensity (BL: 2–4 mmol/L), while females exercised at a larger %VO2 than males during Low intensity (BL: 0–2 mmol/L). Previous reports have shown that women have lower maximal oxygen uptake in comparison to men of similar age and fitness level (9, 10).
Jan 1, 2016 · There is substantial evidence that males and females differ in their basic metabolic physiology and in their susceptibility to a variety of clinical pathologies including obesity, insulin resistance, and type II diabetes mellitus [1].

The first aim of this study was to compare 12-month changes in body weight, fat mass, and lean mass in women and men assigned to HLC or HLF (HLC women n = 179, HLC men n = 125, HLF women n = 167, HLF men n = 138). The second aim was to assess whether or not adherence differed by diet-sex group.
Jun 27, 2018 · Although the male pattern of fat distribution is associated with a more detrimental cardiometabolic risk profile compared to women of similar age and BMI, VAT is more strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk markers in women, while IMCL are more detrimental in men.
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.
