Active Voice: Men and Women Recover Differently from Fatiguing Exercise – Let’s Stop Pretending They Don’t!
By Sandra K. Hunter, Ph.D., FACSM, and Jonathon Senefeld, Ph.D.
Sandra Hunter, Ph.D., FACSM, is a professor of exercise science in the Department of Physical Therapy, Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Hunter’s research is focused on understanding the mechanisms for sex and age differences in fatigability
The limits of human performance in healthy men and women during athletic events and activities of daily living generally can be defined by fatigability of skeletal muscles due to mechanisms that originate along the motor pathway from the brain to the active muscles. Although men are typically stronger and more powerful, women are typically less fatigable than men during submaximal static and slow dynamic contractions of limb muscles performed at the same relative intensity (see the review by S.K. Hunter in November 2016 issue of MSSE). Emerging evidence, however, suggests that this difference in fatigability between men and women varies with the type of task performed, although the causes are relatively undefined.
