Marttinen, Risto; Johnston, Kelly; Flory, Sara B.; Meza, Brianna – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2020
Background: Many girls do not want to engage in physical activity (PA) in places that do not provide feelings of safety, comfort, or protection. Nor will they engage in PA if it might compromise gender norms and place them at risk of being teased by peers. Media influences (e.g. social media, advertisements) target young girls and circulate gender…
