Nearly 83% of American children participate in some type of extracurricular activities; of those, approximately 35 million children in the United States play sports.
Among the multitude of sports in this country, there is a definite segregation between sports dominated by males and females.
Sports that are typically dominated by males include hockey, football, boxing, and weightlifting.
They allow males to demonstrate the physical prowess and psychological attributes that make them productive members of society.
In contrast to male dominated sports, there are also female dominated sports include dance, volleyball, figure skating and equestrian.
Female dominated sports tend to perpetuate the female ideals of grace, intelligence, and beauty while downplaying physical strength and aggression.
