This study analyzes gender stereotypes about physical activity and the reasons for practicing/not practicing it among 2105 non-university students. The results indicate that boys hold more stereotyped views about the woman/sport and physical activity binomial, which vary according to their educational stage. Boys practice more hours of physical activity a week (3-6) compared to girls (1-2), for reasons of health, social issues, and performance.
