This gender bias is even more poignant given recent evidence that has shown that females may in fact be better suited to ultra-endurance sports compared with males [10]. A `®eld' study matched males and females for
performance times at the 56 km distance and found that the females outperformed the males at the 90 km distance [10]. Regression analysis has shown that males outperform females at distances up to *42 km, with an increasing performance advantage for females above an intercept of 66 km [10]. Another group reported that equally trained males and females performed similarly at 42 km, yet the females outperformed the males at the 90 km distance [11].
