“…This is complemented by the mean number of years running for men (10.9 years), compared to that found in women (5.7 years). These findings are in line with a previous study on adolescents that reported that males engage in more physical activity for longer periods of time than females [20]. Further studies with limited age groups are suggested to thoroughly explore these relationships and detect variations between young adults, middle-aged, and older adult runners.…”

“…Given that, in terms of body composition, there are differences in the proportion of fat mass and muscle mass between the sexes [19], it is expected that there will be differences in exercise performance, which may be accentuated by gender aspects and traditional roles. It has been observed that more men engage in physical exercise than women, and men also dedicate more time to the practice than women [20]. Women present greater body dissatisfaction [21] and report lower scores of psychological well-being in the dimensions of self-acceptance and autonomy; however, in positive relationships with others and personal growth, they score higher than men [22], while men obtain higher scores in emotional intelligence [16,23].…”

Running is a complete and accessible physical exercise for the population, but little research has been done on the psychological and environmental variables related to its practice. The objective of this research was to determine how emotional intelligence, psychological well-being, and body dissatisfaction are related to running in natural spaces for men and women. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 331 runners from 20 states of the Mexican Republic (55.3% women), between 18 and 80 years old (m = 37.4; SD = 11.5), with an average of 7 years running experience (SD = 9.3). The Brief Emotional Intelligence Inventory, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Body Shape Questionnaire were used. The results show that men who run in natural spaces have greater psychological well-being and emotional intelligence (stress management) and less body dissatisfaction, and they run more days per week than those who run in built spaces. Predictors of running in natural spaces were greater psychological well-being and emotional intelligence (stress management). On the other hand, women who run in natural spaces show lower emotional intelligence (stress management) and run for more minutes per day. The predictors for running in natural spaces were identified as lower emotional intelligence (stress management), running for more minutes per day, and practicing another physical exercise. In conclusion, in this heterogeneous sample, natural environments are likely to be related to better performance and certain psychological indicators for runners. However, these relationships differ between men and women, so further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our findings.

“…Likewise, various research has pointed out higher participation of females in physical activities. However, these studies indicate that girls tend to choose moderate-intensity activities, such as household chores and dancing, while male adolescents dedicate considerably more time to vigorousintensity physical activities, according to identified findings (Aguilar et al, 2018;Martínez et al, 2019;Oliveira and Parra, 2018;Sallis et al, 2018;Taverno et al, 2013), although in our study, the tendency to engage in sports is higher in females in all aspects.…”

Physical inactivity poses a significant challenge in our contemporary society, emerging as one of the primary risk factors for mortality on a global scale. This issue is exacerbated by various elements, including dietary habits and attitudes toward adopting a healthy and active lifestyle. The need to address each of these factors becomes imperative to comprehend the benefits and drawbacks that can impact our health and physical well-being. The central objective of this research is to determine whether the level of physical activity these young individuals engage in regularly aligns with the recommended standards for their specific age group. Childhood and preadolescence are crucial stages in physical and mental development, and a lack of appropriate physical activity during this period can have long-term consequences for health.

“…This finding was also confirmed by a study done in 2018 on Spanish adolescents and young adults. 29 Some authors have attributed these differences to cultural stereotypes existing between both genders referring to the practice of physical activity. 30 In addition, males at this stage of life are preoccupied with improving their external masculine appearance.…”

Background: University students face multiple stressors while accomplishing their academic goals. University students might adopt risky or unhealthy behaviors. Objective: To determine the association between sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two Egyptian Universities governmental and private. A self-administered Arabic questionnaire was used to explore students' behaviors. Response rate was 97%. Results: A total of 1133 students were included in the current analysis. The average age was 19.9±1.6 years, with 43.3% males. Approximately 23% of the students were physically active, 42.4% had adequate water drinking, 14.3% were currently using tobacco 28.7% in males and 3.3% in females, and 8% had ever consumed alcohol and/or used illicit drugs in their lives. Multivariate regression showed that the likelihood of adequate water drinking was lower in students studying in private university as well as in females aOR=0.51 and aOR=0.39, respectively, p<0.001. The likelihood of regular exercise was significantly lower in females than males aOR= 0.38 and aOR=0.29, respectively, p<0.001. The likelihood of ever smoking any form of tobacco was significantly higher in a student studying in a private university aOR=3.01, p<0.001, students aged 22 years or more aOR=3.09, p<0.0001 and in students who have a monthly expenditure >1500 LE. The likelihood of ever smoking any form of tobacco, alcohol use or illicit drug use was significantly lower in females aOR=0.09, aOR=0.15, and aOR=0.11, respectively, p<0.0001. Conclusion: There were high prevalence of multiple undesirable lifestyle behaviors among studied students. Educational and other preventive activities should be directed to private Universities and on male students.
