Author(s): Alekseewa Oksana and Yagudin Denis Radikovich

Scientists have found that women are more resistant to prolonged physical activity than men. They expect that the data attained will be beneficial in evaluating athletic performance, and put forward reducing the load on men so that their stamina is equal to that of women’s. In the year of 1967, Katherine Schwitzer became the foremost woman to run the Boston marathon. She got this chance thanks a lot to the judges, who decided that her name on the list of participants belongs to a man — in those years, women were forbidden to participate in marathon races. According to the Runner, he was considered “dangerous,  unfeminine and blurring gender boundaries”.
