Women tend to have greater flexibility than men, and this is partly attributed to differences in their pelvic structure, specifically the subpubic arch.
- The subpubic arch is the angle formed by the convergence of the inferior rami of the ischium and pubis bones.
- In females, this angle is typically wider (often greater than 90 degrees), while in males, it's narrower (less than 90 degrees).
- This wider subpubic angle in females allows for greater mobility and range of motion in the pelvic area, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
- This broader pelvic structure and wider subpubic arch in women are believed to facilitate a greater range of motion, particularly in activities like splits that require significant hip abduction and external rotation.
