The Government Equalities Office (GEO) commissioned Women in Sport, in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust, to undertake a new study to understand more about the influences on girls’ and boys’ PE, sport and physical activity participation at ages 7 and 8. The research, which built on the substantial body of existing evidence into girls’ participation, was designed to unlock new insight into why girls start to drop out of sport and physical activity from age 7 at a faster rate than boys.
