Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones

Because if we keep producing lactate from that fast twitch and that higher intensity work that we've been trying to build throughout our life, we are slowing the rate and the risk for Alzheimer's and dementia. So when we see that sex difference in Alzheimer's and dementia, it comes down to the type of muscle fibers and the metabolism that we've been exposed to throughout our life.

So that's why it's like, okay, if we look from birth all the way through to the end of life, There are unique things that women need to do to keep progressing and improving their health for longevity and performance, whereas men are more of a linear because they don't have all of these changes that women have with regards to biomechanics and hormone exposure.

So, of course, it makes sense that you see all this data that comes out for men and men are scribing these protocols and they're improving, that when you take that and put it into certain points within a woman's life, they're not going to respond the same way because physiologically and biomechanically, they are not the same as where that data originated from.

So women are more quad dominant, just the way our posture is and our center of gravity. So this already predisposes us to change of direction injury, soft tissue injury. That's part of the reason why we see a greater predisposition in ACL injury, because we don't have the hamstring strength to counter some of those cutting motions that causes an ACL tear.

So when we're looking at that and what we need to do is we need to put that focus away from the knee and the lunge and all that quad dominant type work, put it posterior. So you're looking at developing the glutes and the hamstrings, a lot of extension work. And we see that when women start to do that, they reduce their injury risk and they have better posture and cutting motion.

And when we're looking at things like what FIFAS put out for warm-up, it's all about warming up the posterior chain and trying to get those muscles firing as a counteract to some of those cutting motions that predispose women to ligamental tears. We also see that as we get into perimenopause, there is a definitive increase in plantar fascia issues and frozen shoulder or bursts in your shoulder.

And that has to do with the changing of the tensile strength in the ligaments as well as a weakening in the muscle contraction. So again, we're looking at what do we need to do to prevent that. We need to keep the strengthening and the faster type power-based action to create an environment that reduces injury, reduces the inflammation of the tendons, and allows better range of motion.
