Our findings indicate that there are gender differences for regional and whole body muscle mass. On average, SM mass in men was 36% greater than in women.

Men are physically stronger than women, who have, on average, less total muscle mass, both in absolute terms and relative to total body mass. The greater muscle mass of men is the result of testosterone-induced muscular hypertrophy. Men also have denser, stronger bones, tendons, and ligaments.Results indicate that the ranges of gender difference in strength (%) were 57.9-103.7, 14.5-64.7 and 18.7-77.9 for absolute, ratio and allometrically scaled expressions, respectively, for BM and FFM. We conclude: 1. Men exhibit greater strength than women for all three indices regardless of model approach.
Does gender affect muscle strength
Firstly, women had lower maximal strength values when compared to men at bench press (−59.2%), squat (−57.2%), deadlift (−56.3%), and mid-shin pull (MSP, −53.2%). In addition, lower levels of power were detected in females in both the upper (−61.2%) and the lower body (−44.2%).
