Abstract

Exercise performance is one of the most complex human traits due to the number of body systems (musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, etc.) that must interact. Other important components are exercise training and nutrition that influences these traits. There is a growing evidence of gender differences in physiology and metabolism which comes to expression when the male and female body is exposed to increased energy demands during exercise. Women have a lower cardiac output and oxygen binding capacity than men which influences the physical performance in women. There are several distinct gender dimorphisms in skeletal muscle, both in regard to morphology and the molecular machinery. In particular, it is a well-documented finding that women utilize lipids as energy fuel to a larger extent than men during submaximal exercise at the same relative intensity.
