Sex Differences in Persistent Fatigue

Sex differences in the rate of fatigue development and recovery

BACKGROUND Many musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace have been attributed to the repetitive loading of muscle and soft tissues. It is not disputed that muscular fatigue is a risk factor for musculoskeletal injury, however the disparity between gender with respect to muscular fatigability and rate of recovery is not well understood. Current health and safety guidelines do not account for se...

Sex differences and mechanisms of task-specific muscle fatigue.

Women can be less fatigable than men because of sex-related differences within the neuromuscular system that impact physiological adjustments during a fatiguing task. However, the involved mechanism(s) for the sex difference is task specific. This review explores the novel hypothesis that variation of the task will alter the magnitude of the sex-difference in muscle fatigue and the contribution...

PERSISTENT PAIN MODEL REVEALS SEX DIFFERENCE IN MORPHINE POTENCY Running Head: Sex differences in morphine analgesia

Sex differences in exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue in endurance-trained athletes.

There is evidence that female athletes may be more susceptible to exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia and expiratory flow limitation and have greater increases in operational lung volumes during exercise relative to men. These pulmonary limitations may ultimately lead to greater levels of diaphragmatic fatigue in women. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to determine whether there are s...
