- hutzlibu 5y agoIf it would be as simple as "having the same muscle but heavier bones" - then there would be advantages in climbing for example. But the worlds top climbers are male, too. (but the gap is in climbing seems to be smaller)
- samatman 5y agoGrip strength is another easily-measured physical metric where there is practically no overlap between the bell curve for male and female humans. The applicability of higher grip strength to success in climbing is obvious, I hope.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoNot only that - but look at the shape of the hip bone between men and women - the latter have wider hips to cater for child-birth. This means men have a massive advantage when running/swimming/cycling/lifting. The same applies to the arms (men have straighter arms) which obviously changes the mechanics when lifting. No amount of hormone therapy will change this.
