Abstract: Women are capable of longer endurance time compared with men for contractions performed at low intensities.The purpose of the study was to compare endurance time, EMG characteristics, muscle blood flow (MBF) and recovery time between men (n =10) and women (n =10) at 20%, 50% and 80% MVC using handgrip dynamometer while performing continuous fatigue protocol.The absolute forces for men was significantly greater then women (389.9 ± 10.11 vs. 215.83± 5.6, F=53.420, p<0.001, η p 2 = 0.748).However, there was no significant difference in the endurance time between men and women at 20% (262.80 ± 100.89 vs. 336 ± 159.03, p= 0.235); 50% (63.80 ± 23.3 vs. 64.4± 29.97, p =0.961) and 80% MVC (14.30 ± 7.36 vs. 13.10 ± 7.25, p= 0.718).Normalized iii Table1.Mean of absolute forces (N) taken as average of three 57 highest MVC and endurance time (seconds) for three sub-maximal intensities.Table2.Initial perceived exertion ratings during the sustained 20%, 58 50%, and 80% MVC's, and the power function-modeled exponents and proportionality constants at 20% and 50% MVC.ix
