Why Men and Women Must Train Differently

Image

THE FOLLOWING IS ESSENTIAL TO WOMEN OVER 35:

  • Females have 30% - 40% less neck extensor muscle mass than males.

  • Long hair adds extra weight.

  • Females often adopt a forward head and rounded shoulder posture at puberty to hide developing breasts, then experience posture related problems in adulthood.

  • Females have a higher incidence of headaches than males.

  • Shoulders girdle position influences pectoral fascia, which in turn effects the posture of the breasts.

  • Correcting shoulder girdle position can have a major uplifting effect on the breasts.

  • Posture correction should always precede plastic surgery; improve ments in appearance can be dramatic without surgery.

  • Hyperextextension of the knees is a common postural fault caused by wearing high- heeled shoes

  • High-heeled shoes shorten the calf muscles as these muscles shorten, they pull the knee into hyperextension.

  • Females have a wider pelvis to support child bearing;the wider pelvis creates a larger Q angle, and is well associated with increased incidence of orthopedic dysfunction.

  • Female's have higher incidence of joint laxity. Ref: Paul Chek HHP, NMT "Equal, but not the same! Considerations for training females.

    Since a FEMALE's body is in constant hormonal fluctuation, and is designed to bear children, nutrition is of greater concern for the exercising female wanting optimal results that her male counterpart.Of Major importance when training females is adequate protein consumption. Protein is an important building block in the development of essential neuro-transmitters an hormones.When studying protein deficiency and overtraining ,a strong correlation exists between several common symptoms:

    a) Abnormal energy highs and lows
    b) Reduced ability to concentrate
    c) Lack of motivation
    d) Anti-socialism
    e) Poor recovery from exercise
    f) Reduced sex drive

    Fat Fighting Tips:
    g) Use compound exercises
    h) Balance cardiovascular & resistance training
    i) Eat soon after exercise
    j) Avoid eating big meals late at night
    k) Increase lean muscle mass
