The differences in strength can be very significant. For instance, gross measures of body strength suggest that women are approximately only 50% to 60% as strong as men in the upper body, and 60% to 70% as strong in the lower body.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8477683</ref> A study of hand-grip strength found that even elite female athletes can be surpassed by a man with no athletic training.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17186303</ref> Another study of sports performance in various disciplines found that males tend to perform 5.5% to 36.8% better, depending on the discipline.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3761733/</ref> | The differences in strength can be very significant.
