| Abstract: |
The article from Trail Run Magazine discusses how women are narrowing the performance gap with men in ultra-endurance sports, where races last six hours or more. Women's advantages in endurance, fat metabolism, hormonal profile, body composition, and psychological resilience are contributing to their progress in these events. While men still hold records in many ultra-endurance events, women's advancements suggest a future where they may outperform men in extreme endurance competitions. The article emphasizes the need for improved training, targeted research on female athletes, increased participation opportunities, and addressing challenges like hormonal fluctuations and societal barriers to empower women in ultra-endurance sports.
