Experts note that many cultures women are simply less opportunity to be part of this great sport. However, researchers do not tend to think it’s the only reason why women are represented in the sport to a lesser extent than men. On this assumption professionals prompted, including the fact that even in countries where men and women are provided in general equal opportunities to make a career in the sport, the last elected her at least twice less.

Experts examined a number of different hypotheses to explain the importance of sport for each person, and came to the conclusion that some of them are universal, while others are in varying degrees of suit representatives of different sexes. The first category scientists have carried the assumption that sport allows a person to feel part of a certain group, as well as the theory that the main thing in sports – the opportunity to learn new skills and improve physical fitness. However, other hypotheses as scientists believe, from an evolutionary point of view, apply mainly to men – in question, including the sport as an opportunity to improve their status and to impress the opposite sex. Scientists suggest that in these cases, the pursuit of the sport dates back to the ancient division of roles formed evolution.

Summing up his study, experts have expressed the view that the difference between how the sport presents men and women, can not be reduced solely to various sociological aspects, and therefore, even when establishing the absolute equality of the sexes and equal education for boys and girls, a difference that is likely, in part to continue.

His work, scientists reported on the pages of Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences journal.
