I certainly have the sense it could. But those comparisons are in sedentary people, not athletes, and it’s also possible that out in those tails training causes the differences to mostly disappear.
This has been a nice exercise but I think it’s tangential.
One sigma feels like it would make a huge difference for something like competitive sports which is mostly about the tails of the distribution.

For all I know, it could be that training causes the differences to shrink, but it could also equally well be that it causes them to grow.
