DifferencesDifferences MenMen WomenWomen

Strength on average

(a third) stronger

Given opportunities, the strength gap would narrow considerably; some sports women areas strong as male athletes.

Muscle mass more less (only half the muscle mass of men)

Heart bigger smaller, but can work relatively harder without any ill effects

Pulse

rate

lower higher; a girl of 15 can attain a pulse of 200; while adult women athletes during exertion can reach 180 easily, 20 beats faster than a man

Lung

capacity

30% greater smaller; no large-scale studies done on female respiration

DifferencesDifferences MenMen WomenWomen

Aggressive instict

higher; play rough and prefer bruising physical contacts; encouraged to be aggressive since infancy

lower; punished for displays of aggressiveness since childhood

Body fat less more, even physically active women have more fat, not necessarily affecting performance

Spatial orientation

better; using their own physical positions as a reference point to activity around them

poorer; using peripheral objects as points of reference; easily distracted by visual stimuli

Endurance supposedly becoming exhausted less quickly

greater tolerrance for fatigue

Final conclusion: Physical differences between men and women don't necessarily make much of a difference in athletic performance.

Unit 2 Men and WomenTask 2: Work in groups

School Sees Plus in Splitting up Students by Gender By summer, staff members at St. Alphonsus Parish School had stripped the name plaques( 铭碑 ) on the classrooms and replaced them with signs such as "Fifth & Sixth Grade Boys" and "Seventh & Eighth Grade Girls." signifying that a new era was about to start.

After nearly a century of being a coed elementary and middle school, St.Alphonsus this school year split up its older students in class by gender, believing that boys would show off less, girls would be less distracted and both genders would do better academically as a result.

"They do not need the pressure of dating or competing with the opposite sex," said Principal Robert Scripko, who introduced the concept and got backing from parents and the parish.

He said he's noticed a change among girls who were once quiet in the classroom.

"Now,they are raising their hands in class.They are feeling more comfortable among the girls and are given an opportunity to participate more."

And the boys,he thinks, are more focused on their work.

A practice usually associated with private schools, single-sex class has become a growing phenomenon in public schools in the recent years, e-ducation experts said. Schools that embraced the single-sex concept think boys and girls learn differently. Putting boys and girls in separate classes improves class performance and boosts student achievement.
