Do women recover from training faster than men?

Short answer

Not for recovery from the next day on. Women did more reps at the same share of their max and got their strength back faster during a few minutes of rest, but recovery over 24 to 72 hours was not faster than men's. In the studies that found a difference, women were slower.

Do women recover from training faster than men?
'Tire less → recover faster': is it true?
Some say women tire less from the same workout and recover faster too. We split recovery into three parts and checked each: how tired people got within a set, how they recovered in the few minutes between sets, and how they recovered from the next day on.
In the same workout, women tired less
At the same share of their max, nearly twice the reps
42 people (21 women, 21 men) did bench press sets of 5 at 75% of their heaviest lift, resting 90 seconds, until they could not do more. Women did 58.3 reps in total and men did 29.6. When 20 people did 4 sets of arm curls at 50% of their heaviest lift, women again did more reps and lost less strength.
The difference came in the minutes of rest
Women recovered faster in the bench press and thigh studies
The researchers of the 42-person study found the gap did not come from women tiring less within each set, but from women recovering faster during the 90 seconds of rest. When 31 people held a maximal thigh contraction for 1 minute or extended the knee fast 120 times, women also got their maximal strength back faster. In the 20-person arm curl study, strength during the recovery period after exercise showed no difference between women and men.
So what about the next day?
Recovery over 24 to 72 hours showed no difference between women and men
In the 42-person study, the speed at which bench press strength came back over 72 hours, and muscle soreness, showed no difference between women and men. There was also no difference in reps when 28 people repeated a workout after 4, 24 or 48 hours, or in soreness and strength over 72 hours after 16 people did squats and bench press 3 different ways.
In studies that found a difference, women were slower
No result showed women recovering faster from the next day on
24 hours after 19 people did 5 sets of 5 squats at 80% of their heaviest lift, jump height had dropped 10% in men and 20% in women, and leg strength 10% in men and 25% in women. In a study where 30 people did 8 sets of an arm exercise, women also took longer to get their strength back over 4 days.
Soreness showed no difference either
Only the blood damage marker was higher in men
In an analysis that pooled 23 studies, soreness after exercise where the muscle resists while being stretched showed no difference between women and men. Strength measured relative to body weight or muscle size showed no difference either. A muscle damage marker in the blood was higher in men.
Summary: faster between sets, not the next day
Shorter rest between sets, the same gap between workouts
At the same share of their max, women did more reps and got their strength back faster in the few minutes between sets. No study showed women recovering faster over 24 to 72 hours, and in the 19-person squat study and the 30-person arm study they were slower. Spacing workouts for the same muscle the same way for women and men is enough.
