    Women have more stamina than men, study says......

    The news has finally come in… and it confirms what most of us (or at least 50% of us) have always suspected. Women have more stamina than men. Fact. In a new study, scientists tested nine women and eight men and asked them to flex their foot 200 times, as quickly as they possibly could....


    The research – conducted by a group at the University of Columbia – found that, while men were quicker, they got tired a lot faster than women.


    One of the scientists involved in the study, Professor Brian Dalton, said: “We’ve known for some time that women are less fatigable than men during isometric muscle tests – static exercises where joints don’t move, such as holding a weight – but we wanted to find out if that’s true during more dynamic and practical everyday movements.....snip~

    They're smaller and have less muscle mass, so it's not surprising that they have better stamina.

    I would not be at all surprised if women, on average, have greater stamina than men--and it would certainly not hurt my feelings--but I am not sure that a test involving only nine women and eight men is conclusive proof of this...

    Stamina and strength are two different animals, you may be able to ace a 5 mile run or a 20 mile force march but cant do upper body tasks that require alot of strength.

    Takes stamina to be loaded down with equipment and weapons and do a 20 mile force march.

    Also there is weather conditions. Heat and snow.

    Men usually have more fast twitch muscle fibers compared to women which is why men are stronger and women are more fatigue-resistant.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
