Abstract in brief

  • Sex refers to biological differences based on genetics, such as bone strength and muscle mass, while gender is a social and cultural concept shaped by perceptions and expectations.
  • Males generally have physical advantages like longer limbs, greater muscle strength, and higher aerobic capacity, leading to an average performance gap of about 10%, especially noticeable in activities like track and field, with smaller gaps in swimming.
  • The International Olympic Committee requires female athletes with intersex traits or who are transgender to maintain blood testosterone levels below 10 nmol/L for 12 months to compete in the female category.]

@diana_nerd No estoy negando las diferencias que ustedes comentan, solo estoy indicando que no son tan sustanciales como las diferencias por sexo. Aquí puedes leer distintos estudios que tienen diferentes enfoques. 1)https://t.co/GmoKoT3GPw 2)https://t.co/hyQwbdO9J6 3)https://t.co/3ltLbLqBFV
