Y sucedió que a partir de la participación fraudulenta de hombres, con cambio de sexo, en competencias para mujeres; se comenzó a establecer como parte del reglamento en las competiciones internacionales la determinación genética del sexo por parte de los equipos médicos de los países organizadores.

La manera de pensar esta problemática lleva a los dirigentes y especialistas en medicina deportiva a preguntarse si las diferencias de rendimiento entre hombres y mujeres se deben a características intrínsecas propias de cada sexo, determinadas genéticamente, o son debidas a condicionantes e influencias medio-ambientales y con este motivo se han realizado minuciosas investigaciones estudiando las diferencias orgánicas en el esqueleto y sistema muscular del hombre y la mujer, así como los diferentes aspectos funcionales del aparato cardiovascular, sistema respiratorio, componentes sanguíneos, adaptación ambiental, predisposición a las lesiones y ciclo menstrual. Y los datos señalan que algunas modalidades deportivas son más ventajosas para la mujer que para el hombre; en concreto aquellas que se caracterizan por un mayor ritmo, destreza, habilidad y estética enumerando una serie de deportes: gimnasia olímpica, natación sincronizada, patinaje artístico, saltos ornamentales, carreras con obstáculos, hípica, esgrima, voleibol, tenis de mesa y un largo etcétera que hace de la serie una implicación singular en cada deportista.

Sin embargo la ideología de los investigadores (sabemos que el sujeto de la experiencia está implicado en la investigación) insiste en señalar y diagnosticar que los mayores problemas de salud en las mujeres deportistas quedan tipificados en la llamada triada de la atleta: disfunción menstrual (generalmente amenorrea), osteoporosis (con el peligro de fracturas por sobrecarga al disminuir la densidad del hueso) y trastornos alimentarios (con pérdida de peso y porcentaje graso, siendo raras los casos de anorexia y bulimia).

CHAPTER SIX

THE WOMAN REIGNES THE KING SPORT (4)

Author: Dr. Carlos Fernández del Ganso

The scientific rigor of certain assertions on which they are based to discriminate against women in sports practice, is based on the sports medicine texts, in which various prejudices can be read, ranging from less physical capacity with possible organic damage to the body virility of the female Knowing that sport was devised by and for men as a way of transmitting certain values, and that in the transmission of desire, writing is the material basis of sport, it is there where women must lose a bit of contempt for her body, since her presence is world brand   in sports.

And after the fraudulent participation of men changing sex in order to compete as women, it was started to establish as part of the regalement in the international competitions the genetic sex determination on the part of the medical teams of the organizing countries.

The way of thinking about this problem leads the leaders and specialists in sports medicine to ask themselves if the differences in performance between men and women are due to intrinsic characteristic of each sex, determined genetically, or are due to environmental influences, Due to this, meticulous researches have been made studying the organic differences in the skeleton and muscular system of man and woman, as well as the different functional aspects of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, blood components, environmental adaptation, predisposition to injuries and menstrual cycle. The data indicate that some events sports are more advantageous for women than for men; in particular those that are characterized by a greater pace, dexterity, skill and aesthetics, let’s listing a series of sports: Olympic gymnastics, synchronized swimming, figure skating, ornamental jumps, obstacle courses, horse riding, fencing, volleyball, table tennis and a long etc. that makes the series a unique implication in each athlete.

However the ideology of the researchers (we know that the subject of the experience is involved in the research) insists on pointing out and diagnosing that the biggest health problems in women athletes are typified in the so-called triad of the athlete: menstrual dysfunction (usually amenorrhea), osteoporosis (with the risk of overload fractures by decreasing bone density) and eating disorders (with weight loss and fat percentage, with rare cases of anorexia and bulimia).
