Girls' participation in physical activities and sports

benefits, patterns, influences and ways forward

There is an international consensus that participation in physical activities can offer a great deal to individuals, communities and nations. Evidence suggests that from an early age, differences in gender-based attitudes towards and opportunities for sports and physical activities can have a significant influence on children's participation. This may, in turn, affect later involvement in physically active lifestyles, and the social and health benefits that may result for them. This report offers a summary of research into girls' participation in sports and physical activities.

It focuses upon the following themes:

• Benefits of Sports and Physical Activities;
• Patterns of Girls' Participation in Sports and Physical Activities;
• Influences on Girls' Participation;
• Examples of Innovative Practices;
• Recommendations.
