“Males do more sport than females ”

HYPOTHESIS
Nowadays, many people play sports due to the amount of advantages it have. Since we are kids sport plays an important role in our life, maybe because of the relation constructed between the person and the sport, and also there is always the success and the competitiveness. For example the 5 year old girl who work hard for be a professional gymnast in the future or a boy who want to be a NBA star. Although sports are very common between the world population there is a noticeable difference between the number of males and females playing sports. It is known that even nowadays, males are more used to play sports than females. Due to the inequalities in the socialization process through parents, media and school kids choose a particular way of life based on sex and gender, in my investigation I will show how and why women do less sport than men nowadays.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Much evidence indicates that men experienced an evolutionary history of physical competition, both one-on-one and in coalitions. We thus hypothesized that, compared to girls and women, boys and men will possess a greater motivational predisposition to be interested in sports, especially team sports. According to most scholars, advocacy groups, and the United States courts, however, this hypothesis is challenged by modest sex differences in organized school sports participation in the contemporary U.S., where females comprise 42% of high school participants and 43% of intercollegiate participants. We conducted three studies to test whether organized school sports participation data underestimate the actual sex difference in sports participation. Study 1 analyzed the American Time Use Survey, which interviewed 112,000 individuals regarding their activities during one day. Females accounted for 51% of exercise (i.e., non-competitive) participations, 24% of total sports participations, and 20% of team sports participations. These sex differences were similar for older and younger age groups. Study 2 was based on systematic observations of sports and exercise at 41 public parks in four states. Females accounted for 37% of exercise participations, 19% of individual sports participations, and 10% of team sports participations. Study 3 involved surveying colleges and universities about intramural sports, which primarily consist of undergraduate participation in team sports. Across 34 institutions, females accounted for 26% of registrations. Nine institutions provided historical data, and these did not indicate that the sex difference is diminishing. Therefore, although efforts to ensure more equitable access to sports in the U.S. (i.e., Title IX) have produced many benefits, patterns of sports participation do not challenge the hypothesis of a large sex difference in interest and participation in physical competition. “The real Olympic heroes are, from my point of view, the adult males. The Olympic Games are reserved for men. Women’s role must be played behind the scene; especially to crown the winners,” founder of the modern Olympics Pierre de Coubertin said in 1925.Women who play sports have made a long evolution in the Olympic history from their first participation in 1928 in gymnastics and athletics to London 2012, where 46 per cent of the athletes were women (4,850 out of 10,540). It was a four per cent more woman than in Beijing Olympic games of 2008. But, apart from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decision of encouraging women in t practicing sports, the activity still less popular. The birth of sports movement was in charge of men, and for men, in the late 19th century, when women were particularly invisible in the public scene and it is still difficult to change the word “men” for “all”(Buenos Aires Herald,2013).Sport beginning was connected to war. Sportsmen are supposed to act like warriors. An activity not related with women in the 19th century so that is why women getting into sports and how they were accepted as sportswomen in their own right could be compared to the way women’s status in our society has evolved though this took a longer time to change. Things are constantly changing but women’s sport is less spread around the world than men sports and its history is comprehensibly shorter. All 204 countries participating in London 2012 had women in their rosters for the first time in the history of the Olympics.

METHODOLOGY
For this examination, I will need to accumulate quantitative information to discover what number of and how frequently men and ladies play sport during their time in London. I am having a deductive methodology women use to do more fitness sports for keep their fit more regularly than men when living in London but in general men use to do more type of sports during the week. For this research I am gathering information to discover whether my hypothesis is valid. I will make surveys with a few inquiries in regards to this hypothesis. Above all else, the poll will be steered to see whether I have to make any alterations. Next, the members that speak to a little area of the population will be found at the Education First School in London. This school is an respectable area, where just international students are being taught. The polls will be passed out to ten students, including five guys and five females. Moreover, I will utilize stratified inspecting to discover members, as I have to subdivide my members. The poll must be given to men and ladies of the Ef school and residence. After the members addressed the inquiries, I will shape the outcomes. I will tally the answers and structure a different diagrams that speak to these outcomes. The information will permit investigation and the making of a conclusion. Additionally, it will indicate whether the speculation is right or off base. The information will give discoveries that can likewise make legitimate purposes behind the conduct of these members.
