Orthopedic surgeons said that the spread-legged pose, which is common for men, is even more beneficial for women than for the stronger sex. This was stated by American experts Cordelia Carter and Barbara Bergin.
In their opinion, such a position will save the fair sex from pain in the knees and hips, because, as doctors note, 90 percent of those suffering from problems with the kneecap and hips are women.
The cause of the disease, according to experts, is that while sitting, ladies always try to look decent and bring their knees together or place one leg on the other. This puts additional stress on the joints and the muscles that support them.
Men, on the other hand, often spread their legs and lean on both feet when sitting, which helps to avoid stress on one half of the body. That is why they are less likely to encounter the listed diseases, The Daily Mail quotes experts.
