Physiological neuromuscular differences in women There are the same physiological characteristics between both sexes at muscular level, that is to say, the nervous impulse that activates them is the same. In contrast, the difference lies in the capacity of muscle hypertrophy, the female will always be less than that of man. This can be due to a lower concentration of testosterone, because they, in rest situation exceed in 10 times the levels of the same in blood. This is what can significantly influence the difference in hypertrophy between both sexes. Thus, in trained women the cross-sectional areas of both types of fiber turn out to be smaller than those of untrained males. Likewise, these differences are also maintained in trained subjects. Women's response to strength training: When a woman trains there is an increase in strength similar to the other sex, in relation to the weight of each, but its relative hypertrophy is smaller.

Among all these sporting successes there are also some negative aspects that have not gone unnoticed for anyone; Something that is really sad, since they have to do with matters outside the sport and not with the performance of the athletes. What do I mean? To the coverage that the media have made of women's participation in the Olympic Games. Media from around the world made lists with the different participants in the Olympic Games on subjects of such depth as to determine which of them was the most beautiful, the sexiest or the one with the best body. This, which could be anecdotal (there are also some media that perform the same lists with male athletes), is not so much if we proceed to analyze the issue more deeply. And so has the University of Cambridge. The University has conducted a study on the words most used by the media to refer to both male and female athletes. The result of this analysis showed that, when talking about a male athlete, the media used terms ...

There is a big dilemma in this issue, as most people, just mentioning both words together, Crossfit and pregnancy, are scared. But can Crossfit be practiced while pregnant? The answer is yes. There is one thing that should be clear, is that if you have never practiced Crossfit and suddenly want to do it, but you are pregnant, it would be best not to try, since your body is not conditioned for it; But if you had started a few months or years ago then you can continue without any problem.
