Guys are fundamentally different from Girls. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Okay, it’s not as pedestrian as it sounds. Researchers who study athletes and exercise science wanted to see if post-exercise protein actually helped “rebuild” muscles. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The answer was yes, it helped the athletes a bit, after a couple of days. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
But they only studied guys! So, some women athletes raised their metaphorical hands and said, “how about us?”. So the researchers repeated the study, mostly out of some sense of obligation to actually be fair and balanced. They expected no difference AT all. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
What they found surprised them. <\/span><\/span>The women showed <\/span>no clear benefit from protein during recovery<\/span><\/b><\/i>. They couldn\u2019t ride their exercise cycles harder or longer. In fact, women had THE EXACT OPPOSITE effect, compared to men. The women who received protein said that their legs felt more tired and sore during the intervals. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The researchers found the same “women are from Venus” result when they looked at the habit of carb-loading before a race or meet of some type. This is the process of eating lots of carbohydrate-rich foods to build up stores of glycogen in the muscles. <\/span>Reference article is here.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
For GUYS, this can be effective. But alas, for women, eating all those carbs did NOT translate into more energy in the muscles. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Why the difference between the two? No one really knows yet, but it seems to have something to do with the amount of Estrogen the women have on board. If you pump guys up with Estrogen prior to their exercise, not only do they get grumpy every 28 days, but they tend to burn calories and fat in the same pattern as women. <\/span><\/div>\n
