Physical Fitness Predicts Bullying Victimization for Boys but Not for Girls: A Two‐Wave Follow‐Up Study

The study highlights the need for sex-specific anti-bullying interventions. For boys, enhancing physical fitness, particularly speed, could reduce their vulnerability to bullying. For girls, interventions should focus on social dynamics, communication skills, and emotional resilience. By addressing the unique factors that influence bullying for boys and girls, schools can develop more effective strategies to reduce victimization and promote safer, more inclusive environments.
