Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 73
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Moreover, as women's motivations for engaging in exercise often differ from those of men, greater attention to acceptable forms of organized sport may increase female participation. Research has indicated that women frequently place more importance on social aspects of physical activity than on performance outcomes. In order to promote physical activity and sport, States should inform their policies with research, and adopt best practices adapted to the country and to the preferences of women, with meaningful participation by women in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes.
