It is often seen that a certain gender stands out in sports competitions. This is the opposite sex good enough Of course, that doesn’t mean it can’t perform. To level the competition, the genders in different competitions look at each other. In this regard, most people aresex x can’t exercise‘ he complains quickly. But in this song, gender of discrimination There are things that come first.

Although we can show them different titles such as psychological reasons, we will not cover them in this content. biological reasons, that is husband and wife We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages that your body offers in certain sports.

Remark: Before we get started, of course, let’s say that we defend the fact that anyone can do any sport they want. What we’re going to talk about here is just at a competitive level advantages/disadvantages of the human body.

Looking at the Olympic data, men are ahead of women in industries that require more muscle use:

an athletics athlete Tori Bowie The record at the 2017 Olympics, It was 10.78 seconds for 100 meters† This record has been beaten thousands of times by teens and adults. Even though the difference between him and his opponents was not as tall when he was smaller, that didn’t stop him from being passed.

Likewise, world champion Allyson Felix’s record of completing the 400 meters in 49.26 seconds has been surpassed by the men thousands of times. Does this mean they are not good enough?

Of course not. It’s not because they have more chances or have trained better that men have broken the record a thousand times here. Two units, one female and one male, fairly well trained Imagine you are an athlete.

They both use the best their bodies have to offer, but in some sports one is more beneficial than the other. So how does this happen?

Bonnie Berkowitz and by Alberto Cuadra Let’s proceed in a simple way with the information he has collected. But first let’s not forget that both our athletes are developing quite well. good both top athletes†

of the muscles For starters, hormones such as testosterone naturally increase the proportion of muscle with a low fat percentage in men. Simply because the ratio of these muscles is higher, in sports that require muscle use. cheaper they are. As we mentioned, the women we compare are also very high level athletes.

The size of the heart also gives men an advantage in a way:

Since they have hearts that are generally bigger than women, they have muscles. Lake amount of blood being pumped. This is more common in sports that require muscle use as before. durability offers.

The role of the amount of fat stored in the body should not be overlooked:

In the image above you can see the areas where fat is stored in the body of men and women. If we look at the general weight, the average weight of a woman who is an athlete 16 percent oil seems to have formed. In male athletes, this percentage is approximately 8 percent†

Estrogen is the reason why women have more fat than men. In addition, the fat ratio we mentioned Don’t see it as redundant.† Because the rates quoted by us for both sexes are necessary for the regular operation of all systems. requires†

When it comes to flexibility, we see that the female body has better mobility:

located in the lower abdomen of the pelvic bone Being different in both sexes also affects their mobility. In this context, women have to mobility understands. We see them using this advantage in sports that require flexibility, such as gymnastics.

In men, the structure of this bone, which is heavier, longer and thicker, is more important than flexibility. will bear the heavy body positioned accordingly.

Finally, the meeting angle of the bones in the joint areas of the knees, which is largely responsible for more serious injuries in women’s football matches:

As you can see in the picture, women your bones in the joint area meeting cornerslightly higher than in men. This puts more stress on those parts. While this means a higher chance of injury, it should be noted that with hard work these areas will be strengthened.

Don’t be fooled by these biological differences!

These are male or female athletes. preventive They are not factors. They only give them an advantage or a disadvantage if they enter the competition. In this context, many times in history, women and men have been involved in activities that require endurance and muscle strength. led the way We saw. Let’s look at some examples together.

Jackie Tonawanda, known as the “wife Muhammad Ali,” knocked out Larry Rodania in 1975:

Billie Jean King, who faced Bobby Riggs in 1973, popularized women’s professional tennis matches by beating her opponent in the match that was watched with excitement by millions:

Danica Patrick, who made history by winning the Japan Indy 300 in 2008:

And much more:

The pros and cons that we mentioned in this content are knitted between certain genders and sports. they are not concrete walls† So with enough work and persistence, they too can disappear. The fact that the two sexes compete in separate competitions is more important today than gender discrimination. to equalize the conditions is being done.

For example the NBA star LeBron James with WNBA star Candace Parker, one of the most prominent names in their league. But for the reasons we just mentioned, putting the two names together. it won’t be fair in the midst. But that doesn’t stop both Parker and James from playing basketball.
