Women are more fit than men
Women can process oxygen more quickly than men during exercise. Quick oxygen uptake places less strain on the body's cells and is considered an important measure of aerobic fitness.
The study compared oxygen uptake and muscle oxygen extraction between young men and women of similar age and weight during treadmill exercise. Women consistently outperformed men with around 30 per cent faster oxygen handling throughout the body.
Researchers discovered that women's muscles extract oxygen from the blood faster, which, scientifically speaking, indicates a superior aerobic system.
By processing oxygen faster, women are less likely to accumulate molecules linked with muscle fatigue, effort perception and poor athletic performance.
