Social acceptability of sport for young women
Percept Mot Skills.
1991 Aug.
Abstract
Historically, according to Metheny, the acceptability of sport for women varies across several factors including ethnicity. 111 college age men and women were asked what sports they would allow and what sports they would forbid their daughter(s) to play. Results were consistent across ethnicity, sex, and religion. This younger generation would allow young women to participate in virtually all sports including contact sports.
