Biological sex influences the range of motion achievable at various joints. Generally, individuals identified as female exhibit greater flexibility compared to those identified as male. This difference is observed across various movements, including hamstring stretches, shoulder rotations, and spinal flexion.
Enhanced flexibility can contribute to improved athletic performance, a reduced risk of injury, and increased comfort in daily activities. Historically, this characteristic has been attributed to hormonal differences, anatomical variations, and sociocultural factors influencing physical activity patterns.
