缺乏对运动单位行为中与性别有关的差异的系统调查，这对理解和优化男性和女性的健康和表现构成了挑战。有限的调查显示，人体肌肉中可能存在运动单位行为的性别差异。这篇综述总结了有关运动单位行为性别差异的最新知识以及可能导致这些差异的潜在因素。我们在运动单位研究中显示出女性参与者的代表性显着不足，并且研究运动单位行为中性别差异的研究数量有限。我们将当前的见解置于方法论局限性的背景下，并概述了一些建议和未来方向，以改善该研究领域的女性代表性。我们得出的结论是，迫切需要在女性中收集更多数据，并调查运动单位行为的性别差异。获得的知识可用于开发针对性别的方法，以改善神经肌肉的表现和康复。
The lack of systematic investigations on sex-related differences in motor unit behaviour poses a challenge in understanding and optimizing health and performance in males and females. Limited investigations revealed that sex differences in motor unit behaviour might be present in human muscles. This
review summarizes the current knowledge on sex differences in motor unit behaviour and potential factors that may contribute to these differences. We show significant under-representation of female participants in motor unit studies and a limited number of studies investigating sex differences in motor unit behaviour. We place the current insights within the context of methodological limitations and outline several recommendations and future directions to improve female representation in this research area. We conclude that there is an urgent need to gather more data in females and investigate sex differences in motor unit behaviour. The knowledge gained could be used to develop sex-specific approaches to improve neuromuscular performance and rehabilitation.
