Implication

Observational analysis identifies barriers to female participation in physical activity, highlighting cultural and religious challenges.

Key Points

  • Physical activity participation is hindered by the ethos of college physical education, highlighted by 99.4% of respondents.
  • Prominent barriers include gender issues and religious constraints, with significant mean values of 3.26 and 3.17, respectively.
  • Using a self-administered questionnaire, 687 female students aged 16-22 were surveyed in Peshawar.
  • These findings suggest that empowering women through education and access to physical activity can enhance societal well-being.
