Gender variability issues of modern women`s sports

Historically the women`s sports have largely been viewed as derivatives of the men`s ones. Individual sport predispositions are commonly considered driven by the gender-unspecific physical activities (hyperkinesia) largely formed in the prenatal development period. Objective of the study was to analyze the inborn predispositions to a high physical activity (hyperkinesia) in women on the following assumptions. On the one hand, the individual predisposition to sports depends on the testosterone-driven gender-unspecific physical activities (hyperkinesia) formed in the prenatal development period. Some females are diagnosed with hyperandrogenism, which is the increased synthesis of testosterone (androgen) by adrenal associated with the male-type cerebral differentiation process and male developmental programs taking the lead in every bodily system. On the other hand, the modern women`s sports face multiple challenges due to the transgender human resource inflow promoted and supported by some vested interests. It may be concluded that, since the women`s sports increasingly tend to accept the athletes with the gender identities closely nearing the male ones, special efforts are needed to consolidate the women test database to specify the semi-male type increasingly dominant in the women`s sport elite. The relevant sport training systems are in high demand today and need to be supported by a sound theoretical basis to develop new women`s training systems mimicking the men`s ones as close as possible for success.
