 6.1 Sex differences

¡@

We can be fairly sure that sex differences in stature and related body dimensions most differences in bodily proportions are almost entirely biological in their origin, although there may be a small overlay of differences attributable to lifestyle, etc.

 

In the case of muscular strength, however, the position is more evenly balanced, and although the male of the species has the greater physiological propensity to the acquisition of muscle strength, the overlay of differences associated with physical training and lifestyle is very considerable.
