Relative Strength Of Man and Woman

Relative Strength OF Man and Woman,
According to the last report of the
doings of the anthropometric labora,
tory, London, the following interest.
ing data were established concerning
the relative strength and length Of
limbs in mar aud woman, viz: In
man, in 500 cases out of 100, the
right arm was stronger than the LETT
in 1874 cases the arms ri each Of
equal strength; finally, In 1921 cases
ont Of 100, the left arm was the
stronger. Thus it seems, contrary
to the general understanding of this
subject, that out of every ten men
there are more than three whose right
arm is not so strong as the left. Ths
data show, however, that the proper.
ton is better distributed in women
that is, out of 100 only 46.9 possessed
more strength in the right arm, and
24.5, or nearly one-fourth, have more
strength in the left, Dynamometric
experiments have likewise proved
that in ONE the upper limbs pos.
'sess the same strength much oftener
than in men, since out of 100 there
were $50 that gave the same results
lin the two arms. As regards the re.
lspeotive length of the limbs, it seems
that in most cases the right arm and
the left leg are the longer, the follow
ing proportions being noted at the la.
boratory in measuring fifty skeletons
of adults, men and women: In TWEEN.
ty-three cases the left leg and the
right arm were the longer, in six
cases it was, on the contrary, the
right leg and the left arm, and in fonr
cases only the limbs Of the right side
we're longer than those of the left.
