The relative values of MT for female/male athletes were higher in the lower body compared to the upper body. This is similar to that observed in healthy non-athletes indicating that this difference is not due to resistance training. The lower muscle mass in the arms and trunk of females appears to be a true sex difference but the cause of this difference is unknown.
