摘要
HUNTER, S.K. Sex differences and mechanisms of task-specific muscle fatigue. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 37, No. 3, pp. 113-122, 2009. 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 of involved mechanisms.
