  1. no


  2. Yep they sure are.

  3. Yes they are - watch the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute's (CAMI) video on G's.  Short people are also better at it, since their heart is closer to the brain.  It takes less work to pump blood a shorter distance.  Tall, slender people are actually the worst at handling G's.

  4. Nope gotta disagree.  Actually due to the design to have babies, the wider hips seem to help absorb positive-G.  Only talking about 1-2G's over an equivalent male.

    However, the single most important issue in G-tolerance is upperbody strength.  Males have an advantage over females in this regard-as a workout regimen will show G-tolerance benefits faster than with females.
