Yes, men run faster than women, but over shorter distances—not by much
2 years ago (Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 04:32 PM)
Conventional wisdom holds that men run 10 to 12% faster than women regardless of the distance raced. But new research suggests that the between-sex performance gap is much narrower at shorter sprint distances.
It has long been established that men outpace women by relatively large margins in mid- and longer-distance events. But speed over short distances is determined by different factors—specifically, the magnitude of the ground forces athletes can apply in relation to their body mass. Women tend to be smaller than men and, all things being equal, muscular force to body mass ratios are g... Continue reading ››

2 years ago (Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 09:41 AM)
Should we do a little bit every day, or a few longer sessions per week? It appears one approach is far more beneficial than the other.
So… should I exercise a little bit every day, or exercise for longer once a week?
It’s a dilemma faced by many health-conscious people — and new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) is answering the question.
This latest research indicates a little bit of daily activity could well be the most beneficial approach, at least for muscle strength.
And happily, it also suggests you don’t have to put in a mountain of work every day.

Without an audience, men run slower and women faster: The lack of spectators during the coronavirus pandemic appears to have had a noticeable effect on the performance of athletes at the 2020 Biathlon World Cup, a new study by Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in "Psychology of Sport and Exercise" shows. According to the new analysis, women also performed better in complex tasks, such as shooting, when an audience was present while men did not.
