What is driving gender inequalities in physical activity among adolescents?

摘要

In most countries around the globe,adolescent girls are less physically active than boys.However,the majority of studies have been conducted in high-income countries,while there is less evidence from low-and middle-income countries.1 The reasons for this gender difference in physical activity(PA)participation are poorly understood.A recently published article by Ricardo et al.2 on gender inequalities in adolescent PA from 64 global south countries seeks to close this knowledge gap.
