| Sumario: | One of the main determinants of the physiological differences between men and women are the estrogen levels, predominant in women. Estrogen levels not only influence the characteristics of the distribution of adipose tissue, the predominance of muscle fibers or the use of fat as an energy source, but also impact training in terms of muscle strength, maximum voluntary contraction, and muscle fatigue. These differences between men and women are especially seen in the fact that women have a greater resistance to exercise, which leads us to think that they benefit from exercises with higher frequencies. |
