The objectives of this study were to determine which types of sports were most practiced by adolescent males and females; and to analyze the relationship of gender stereotypes, the type of sport observed and the personal environment, to the type of sport practiced, depending on the adolescent’s gender. To this end, a total of 632 adolescents completed the questionnaire “Lifestyle in Sport with a Gender Perspective”. The results showed significant differences according to gender in the type of sport practiced (<i>p</i> < 0.05), in the membership to sports clubs (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and in the participation in competitions (<i>p</i> < 0.001). It was found that family (<i>p</i> < 0.005) and friends (<i>p</i> < 0.05) were the social agents that most influenced the choice of the type of sport practiced, and that the type of sport watched live (<i>p</i> < 0.005), and in the media (<i>p</i> < 0.001), was related to gender and the type of sport practiced. In contrast, the gender stereotypes of the adolescents themselves were not related to the practice of sports. In conclusion, the environment closest to the adolescents was related to the type of sport practiced by those adolescents.Adrián Mateo-OrcajadaLucía Abenza-CanoRaquel Vaquero-CristóbalSonia María Martínez-CastroAlejandro Leiva-ArcasAna María Gallardo-GuerreroAntonio Sánchez-PatoMDPI AGarticleadolescentsclosest environmentgender differencessexual stereotypessportsEnvironmental effects of industries and plantsTD194-195Renewable energy sourcesTJ807-830Environmental sciencesGE1-350ENSustainability, Vol 13, Iss 11863, p 11863 (2021) |
