Description
Men and women exhibit differing tendencies for energy management. People were monitored for energy expenditure during load-bearing exercise, and females demonstrated significantly fewer calories burned than did men. We see this result because energy-efficient load-carrying confers increased fitness in females, who traditionally traveled during pregnancy and child-carrying.
