Women cope better fatigue , whether physical or nervous . The study shows that French scientists published on the American journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise , according to which women in sports activities more physical stamina than men . He writes about the Italian newspaper La Republica .
Surprisingly, the man gets tired more easily than women. Contrary to what is generally thought , the actual sex weak as regards fatigue are women . Woman gives energy better than a man . Women’s muscles and nerves after they are exposed to prolonged physical exertion ” stronger ” . Scientists from the Laboratory of Physiology Sport University of Lyon in France, measured the condition of muscles and nerves in the legs at 20 marathon runners , ten women and ten men who ran the route 110 km .
Quite significant differences
Scientists followed neuromuscular system before, during and after, and its effects on the brain, central nervous system and muscles legs. Used, the system nerve and muscle electrostimulation at the head and legs. Males showed overall greater fatigue and muscle tension capability extending the knee after running decreased by 38 percent, while among women by 29 percent. Reactivity bending muscles in men decreased by 23 percent, while for women only about eight percent. So there is quite a few differences.
“The gender differences in coping with fatigue in sport it knows little. It was assumed that the differences in performance between men and women fall depending on how the increased load,” says study coordinator John Temes. “To our great surprise we found that women cope with fatigue better. Men exhibit generally greater fatigue and recovery at the level of the calf muscles and quadriceps is slower. This explains the fact that women often achieve better performance over long distances than men, “says John Temes.
Sports women are better at career
And as shown by research carried out on a sample of 400 women in Europe , the Americas and Asia Pacific holds a position of high executive , the vast majority of these women practiced sports : 94 percent of women reported having engaged in sport , and 74 percent of women believe that their sport has helped in their career . Research showed that a multinational company Ernst & Young carried out in relation to the forthcoming Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. It also appeared that 64 percent of women admitted that they felt that rather achieve admission to higher position when in a job interview indicate that ran the sport.
“Sport has an important role in the development and improvement of leadership , ability to deliver projects on time and the ability to work in a team, ” said the study authors . Women in positions of high management also conceded that his idols are considered athletes rather than politicians or other celebrities.
“If until now sport helped men in a career , then this research has shown that it can accelerate professional growth and progress to leadership positions within the company as well in women. Our company pays great attention to the promotion of gender balance , because we believe that it can be positive benefit for the whole economy , “says Donato Iacovone of the Italian branch of Ernst & Young.
