Understand Bodies Differently: Tailor Exercise to Gender
Research highlights significant differences in fat metabolism and exercise responses between genders. Female rats show an enrichment in insulin signaling and fat production at rest, while males display a focus on aerobic metabolism. These intrinsic biological differences suggest that healthcare providers must consider gender-specific responses to exercise when advising on fitness and weight loss. Furthermore, contrary to common beliefs about exercise being purely preventative, findings indicate that moderate physical strain could be beneficial even during illness, suggesting a nuanced approach to exercise could strengthen immune responses against diseases like type 2 diabetes and liver disease.
