Re: Are girls getting stronger?

1. The relative amount of girls vs guys are now close to 50/50 (I haven't counted, but it is an estimation based on observation). If you go back a few years, to, let's say 2005-2010, I'd estimate it was closer to 80% guys and 20 % girls. 2. In that period, 2005-2010, I never saw any girls really breaking a sweat lifting weights, actually almost no girls using weights at all. Today I'd say most of the girls are the gym are lifting weights (rather than doing cardio), and most of them seem to make a real effort too. As I said, I've been outlifted quite frequently in recent years, something I never experienced a few years back. By the way, statistics from Norway (my country) has shown that strength training has had a huge increase in popularity among young norwegian girls in recent years, so that also confirms my own personal observation. |

Increase in popularity from 0% to 0.1%? If you have statistics, just show them... it will spare us some time and avoid useless speculations. |

Here is the link to the article from 2019 and a statistical overview if you are interested. It is written in norwegian though. In the overview girls are shown in dark green colour and "styrektrening" means strength training. SSB is a highly respected company doing a lot of statistical reserach in Norway.

They talk about "strength training" which accounts for fitness or pilates or even yoga...for example women make more group trainings which are typically no heavy lifting. Last edited by garcon55; 17-Sep-20 at 08:09. |

If i look at the window, i observe that the earth is flat. But it doesn't matter. Are there more women "lifting heavy" in your gym than men? Or 50/50? |

And which statistics? the article you came with never mentions anything about lifting heavy... it is enough to have trained once aerobic over the past year to be put in the stats "practicing strength training"... it just has nothing to do with what you are claiming here.

Science begins with observation, but if you want quantitative research you of course need to make repeated observations under controlled conditions and systematize the results. I have never counted the number of times I have been outlifted, but I know it is many times in recent years, but never 10-15 years ago. Surely this is no coincidence. And in addition, when I read that strenghtraining has become more popular among girls in Norway, you don't have to be Einstein to see the connection, do you? |
