(Source: Thinkstock Images)Challenging the popular notion that men are more fit for exercise of all sorts, a new study has shown that women have a natural capacity to process oxygen more quickly than men during aerobic exercises, making them more athletic.

These women were also less likely to accumulate molecules linked with muscle fatigue, effort perception and poor athletic performance.
