Chronic exercise has different effects on physical fitness and obesity in both sexes. Researchers believe this difference stems from the response of the hypothalamus, which contains leptin receptors. The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating stress and food intake.

For example, a higher percentage of women are obese than men, regardless of exercise type. That is, even if women and men exercise for the same number of hours per week, the results may not always be the same, but they are likely to differ. The exact cause of this problem has not been scientifically proven, but experts continue to study and experiment. In any case, both men and women who want to be in good shape need to eat properly and exercise systematically. Men who exercise have better results than women.

A study conducted at the University of Colorado examined the relationship between diet and exercise using mice.

In this study, researchers fed both male and female mice a high-fat diet and trained them to run on a treadmill.

After 10 weeks, researchers measured the mice’s weight again and measured the effects of exercise on their weight. Male mice that ran on the treadmill were compared to non-exercisers. The mice that exercised lost significantly more weight, while female mice, regardless of whether or not they exercised, had similar weights. Scientists believe the differences between female and male mice stem from the hypothalamus. and it influences both genders in the same way.

However, exercise has numerous benefits, not only for physical appearance but also for a person’s health. For this reason, experts recommend that both men and women exercise regularly, starting at a young age to allow their bodies to adapt and respond appropriately.
