A555difference between the vigorous physical activity (VPA) carried out by men and women as on average men carry out 37.73 minutes more VPA compared to women (meanF= 77.97, meanM= 40.24 min/week, p< 0.001). According to the age groups the VPA level of women after the age of 40 showed stability on a lower level while the reduction of VPA of men is continuous until the age of 60 when gender gap of VPA disappears (p< 0.001). ConClusions: Regarding gender differences, women were less active than men in PA, carrying out significantly less vigorous PA. The results of the observational research confirmed the need for a well-aimed intervention to emphasize PA among women.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
