Using Physiological Principles to Explain Sex Differences in Running and Swimming Performances
Dollman, Jim
American Biology Teacher, v67 n6 p343 Aug 2005
Demonstrated sex differences in physical characteristics are used to know the performance differences between first-placed males and females from latest world championships in swimming and running. The performance comparisons (PCs) reveal smaller differences between males and females in running sprint events than longer distance running and the differences are less in longer distance swimming than sprint swimming.
