Quote:
The muscle strength of both Caucasian and Asian female students is significantly lower than their counterparts on all five measurements: arm strength, upperbody and chest strength, shoulder strength, leg strength, and abdominal strength. Females have 37-68% of muscle strength of males in general.
Caucasian females have about 41-50% of males’ chest and upper-back strength, and Asian females have about 48-58%. Caucasian females have about 39-64% of males’ chest and upper-back strength, and Asian females have about 48-58%. Caucasian females have about 49-52% of males’ shoulder strength, and Asian females have about 40-56%. Caucasian females have about 57-63% of males’ leg strength, and Asian females have about 64-68%.
The difference on muscle strength between females and males is more on upper body, and less on lower body. Females are relatively stronger on their legs than arms and shoulders.
Students showed following differences on opposite muscle strength: 1) triceps are stronger than biceps, 2) upper-back muscles are stronger than chest muscles, 3) lower-shoulder muscles are stronger than upper-shoulder muscles, 4) and front-thigh is much stronger than back-thigh.
