An approach to female participation in sports

Open Access

Abstract

Women's participation in sports is increasing more and more and has always been connected to cultural factors. Thus, sports once restricted to men, as long distance running which nowadays has significant female participation, are being more and more incorporated by women. Several factors, such as politics, religion and economy, may generally speaking colaborate with or impair sports and consequently female sport. Our aim is to do away with prejudice deeply inherent to our culture so that women will be able to fully develop within society
