Women and Exercise
Author: Eileen Kennedy
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136883681
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
Exercise for women is a heavily-laden social and embodied experience. While exercise promotion has become an increasingly visible part of health campaigns, obesity among women is rising, and studies indicate that women are generally less physically active than men. Women’s (lack of) exercise, therefore, has become a public concern, and physiological and psychological research has attempted to develop more effective exercise programs aimed at women. Yet women have a complex relationship with embodiment and physical activity that is difficult for quantitative scientific approaches to explore. This book addresses this neglect by providing a much-needed feminist, qualitative social analysis of women and exercise. The contributors, drawn from across Europe and North America, investigate the ways women experience exercise within the context of the global fitness industry. All the authors take a specifically feminist perspective in their analysis of the fit, feminine body, exploring media images and the global branding of fitness products, the relationship between exercise and fat, the construction of physical activity within health discourse, and the lived experience of the exercising body. The collection explores the diversity of women’s experiences of exercise in relation to age, ethnicity and body size. The book is essential for anyone interested in health promotion, sport and exercise or the social and cultural study of gender and embodiment.

An Examination Into the Attitudes of Girls Towards Physical Activity and Performance in Aerobic Capacity

Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Over the last 30 years, physical activity among adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18 has continued to decline, and the risk of morbidity associated with sedentary living has increased (CDC, 2017). Furthermore, research has identified females as being at greater risk of morbidity because they are opting out of physical activity at twice the rate of boys and not getting the recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity (NPAP, 2016). Many girls are avoiding physical education classes, where the concepts of health-related fitness, the development of skills necessary to participate in a variety of physical activities, and a love for physical fitness are formed. This research examined attitudes toward physical activity of females in a single-gender versus a mixed-gender physical education (PE) class. The purpose of this static group comparison examination was to determine if a statistically significant difference existed in the attitudes toward physical activity between girls taking a ninth-grade, single-gender PE course and girls taking a ninth-grade coed PE course. The participants for this investigation comprised females between the ages of 13 and 18 taking physical education during the 2018-2019 school year. Three items from a physical activity attitude scale related to gender, competence, and usefulness were used to determine attitudes toward physical activity. Performance in aerobic capacity was also evaluated between the groups using the school district’s adopted standardized physical education assessment, FITNESSGRAM® to ascertain the level of cardiovascular fitness of girls taking a single-gender physical education class and girls taking a mixed-gender physical education class.
