Sex Roles and Physical Activities: Evolving Trends.

Hoferek, Mary J.

Quest, v34 n1 p72-81 1982

Three factors are contributing to the redefinition of sex roles: (1) the equal education mandates of Title IX; (2) growing recognition of the need for female role models; and (3) the reconceptualization of androgyny and transcendence in scholarly research. Physical activity programs are one of the socialization agents that can aid in the process. (FG)
