Girls in physical education

About this book

"Why is it that involvement in physical activity for girls drops off more rapidly than for boys? This is a serious concern, as particpation in school physical education programs has been shown to have a positive influence on a person's physical activity later in life. Do girls lose the attention of PE teachers who favor nurturing the physical development of boys, or do they make a conscious choice not to participate in the PE system? If so, are they aware of the harmful ramifications come adulthood? This programm examines some of the reasons why girls lose interest in physical education, then focuses on a number of proven strategies to help teachers tackle the problem."--Container.
