A study by Loughborough University's Institute of Youth Sport for the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation says that girls are not getting enough exercise because most are put off by school PE lessons.
Forty five per cent of those surveyed said “sport is too competitive”, 48% think it is “not feminine” and more than 50% believe boys enjoy sport more. The WSFC recommends making sport more appealing by offering activities like dance and martial arts at school.
