The largest gender differences in Table 1 are in the domain of motor performance, particularly for measures such as throwing velocity (d = 2.18) and throwing distance (d = 1.98) The Cohen's d value here is difference in means between two populations, normalized by the pooled standard deviation. What d = 2 means in concrete terms is that an average man can throw faster and further than ~98% of women.
