Preferred term

gender differences in exercise responses  

Definition

  • During puberty in females, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone cause estrogen production from the ovaries, which in turn instigates pelvis broadening, increased bone growth, targeted fat depot sites, and breast development. However, puberty in males is the result of these hormones causing testosterone production from the testes, which upregulates bone formation and muscle mass as well as increases erythropoietin production from the kidneys.
