The effect of body composition on strength and power in male and female students

Table 3 5 JT and SJ performances of male and female subjects before and after ballasting

Groups Tests	Male	Weighted male	Female	∆ M/F (%) Male vs. Female	∆ F/wM (%) Female vs weighted Male	∆ reduction (%) Male vs. Female (after cancelling the sex difference in fat mass)	∆ wM/M (%) Male vs. Weighted male
5JT (m)	11.4 ± 0.5	9.9 ± 0.5	8.7 ± 0.71	23.5 p < 0.001	11,7 p < 0.001	50,1	13.3 p < 0.001
SJ
Height (cm)	32.4 ± 2.7	27.8 ± 2.5	21.1 ± 1.9	34.7 p < 0.001	23.8 p < 0.001	31,4	14.3 p < 0.01
Power(Watt/kg)	15.8 ± 1.40	12.8 ± 1	11.9 ± 1.1	24.9 p < 0.001	7.0 p < 0.05	71,7	19.2 p < 0.01

Data presentation as in Table 1.
∆ F/wM (%), difference between female and weighted male students expressed as in % of the value of weighted male students; NB, data obtained in the tests performed on the lower limbs (i.e. 5JT and SJ), are not relative to the body mass or lean mass
