Findings in Applied Physiology Reported from Marquette University (Age and Sex Differences in the Limits of Human Performance: Fatigability and Real-World Data).

A recent study from Marquette University explores the age and sex differences in human performance. The research suggests that males tend to be faster, stronger, and more powerful than females, but these physical attributes decline with advanced aging for both sexes. The study emphasizes the need for an integrated approach that combines analysis of real-world data and experimental mechanistic studies to understand the biological and sociocultural factors that contribute to the limits of performance. The findings also highlight the impact of historically low representation of females and minority groups in biomedical research on health outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
