Cross-Sectional Analysis of Sex Differences in Out-of-School Physical Activity Among Elementary School Students
Differences in elementary-aged physical activity may be due to differences in sex norms and activity outside of school. Girls had less physical activity during all periods of the day than boys and less participation in sports and active commuting. Future research could aim to increase physical activity for elementary-aged girls both in and out of school.
