Male sex is associated with muscle fiber cross-sectional area in humans (type I CSA: M = 4936 ± 1250 μm2 vs F = 4151 ± 1074 μm2, p < 0.001; type II CSA: M = 5272 ± 1950 μm2 vs F = 3483 ± 1309 μm2, p < 0.001).
“Males had greater type I CSA (M = 4936 ± 1250 μm2; F = 4151 ± 1074 μm2; p < 0.001), type II CSA (M = 5272 ± 1950 μm2; F = 3483 ± 1309 μm2; p < 0.001)”
