Actitud de los universitarios ante la práctica físicodeportiva: diferencias por géneros

Abstract

1512 students from the University of Murcia responded to the Motivations and Interests related to Physical Exercise and Sport Questionnaire (MIAFD) to ascertain the gender differences in opinion about physical activity and sport and University programmes among university students. The study’s most significant findings was that most males do some sort of physical activity; but women do less at this time. We can also say that men prefer physical activities in their spare time, whereas women divide their free time between social activities and personal interests. Finally, men confer higher importance to competition sports, which contrasts with women’s attitudes towards the health aspects of sport.
