Assessing Men’s and Women’s Preferences in Fitness Training
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page study of men’s and women’s preferences of weight vs cardio training. Women historically have rejected weight training as a favored fitness activity, and it appears that men may prefer weight training over cardiovascular training. To test this apparent affinity student data collectors observed new arrivals at a gym, noting which activity class that men and women chose first. The results support the hypothesis that women choose cardiovascular training over weight training, and that men’s preferences are reversed. Includes 2 tables, 1 chart and an abstract.
