Key points Females demonstrate greater fatigue resistance than males during contractions
at intensities relative to maximum force. However, previous studies have not accounted for …

Key points Knee‐extensors demonstrate greater fatigue resistance in females compared to
males during single‐limb and whole‐body exercise. For single‐limb exercise, the intensity …

Performance fatigability differs between men and women for a range of fatiguing tasks.
Women are usually less fatigable than men and this is most widely described for isometric …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? Women are usually less fatigable than men
for isometric fatiguing contractions of similar intensity, but whether this occurs for dynamic …

Females are less fatigable than males during isometric contractions across various muscles
and intensities. However, sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability remain relatively …

Women are capable of longer endurance times compared with men for contractions
performed at low to moderate intensities. The purpose of the study was 1) to determine the …

Purpose Females are often reported to be generally more resistant to fatigue than males for
relative intensity tasks. This has been observed repeatedly for elbow flexors, whereas at the …

The purpose of this study was to compare the time to task failure for a series of intermittent
submaximal contractions performed with the elbow flexor muscles by men and women who …

Muscle fatigue is classically defined as an exercise-induced decline in maximal voluntary
muscle force or power (5). It develops in men and women soon after the onset of sustained …

Sex‐related differences in physiology and anatomy are responsible for profound differences
in neuromuscular performance and fatigability between men and women. Women are …
