Performance

Males vs. Females

Both the Females and Males tested very well, with the majority of everyone falling into the healthy of fit category. Just to create a comparison between males and females, here are the results.

Average Times:

Females Trial 1= 9.03 minutes
Females Trial 2= 8.41 minutes

Males Trial 1= 7.42 minutes
Males Trial 2= 7.33 minutes

7 Females in the class

11 Males in the class

As you can see the males performed slightly better in both trials. Could this be because of the difference in their aerobic capacity or another underlying factor? For example does height play a difference in the mile run? To an extent, it can. An individual who is taller, naturally with have longer legs which means longer stride. Having a smooth lengthy stride is a vital part to running a fast mile time. Just something to think about.
