女性生理變化較男性更為複雜，尤其會受到荷爾蒙變化的影響，但大多數運動生理學的研究仍以男性為研究對象，其結果無法完全應用於女性，本文探討肌肉疲勞的性別差異，以及造成此差異的可能原因。大多數的研究顯示，在低強度或中強度肌肉反覆收縮的運動方式之下，女性肌肉疲勞抵抗性較男性為高，但當使用肌力接近或逢到最大自主肌肉收縮時，肌肉疲勞抵抗性就無顯著性別差異計造成此現象的可能原因包括(1)女性肌肉代謝負擔較低；(2)女性以有氧代謝的方式產生之能量比例較高；(3)神經肌肉活性之性別差異。

Most studies on exercise physiology used males as subjects. The results may not be applicable to females because of the more complicated physiological and hormonal responses than males. In this article, we investigated the gender difference in muscular fatigue and the possible mechanisms responsible for the difference. Most studies suggested that, in repetitive muscular contraction at low to moderate intensities, females showed higher resistance of muscular fatigue than males The gender difference disappeared when the contraction intensities reached near or at the maximum voluntary contraction The possible mechanisms for the gender difference may include: (1) lower metabolic load in female muscles, (2) females produced higher percentage of energy aerobical1y H and (3) gender difference in neuromuscular activities
