It is important to determine differences in child and adolescent males’ and females’ eating and physical activity preferences to determine the design of interventions. The purpose of this study, which involved a secondary data analysis, was to evaluate gender differences among eating behaviors and physical activity involvement. There were a total of 157 males and females in this study. The participants completed a survey to assess eating behaviors and involvement in physical activity. To examine the data from the surveys, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23.0 was used to compare and determine physical activity involvement and eating behaviors. Results of the study revealed more similarities than differences in gender among eating behaviors and physical activity involvement. Females endorsed consumption of salty/savory foods more than males. Males endorsed participation in more sports teams than females. Future research should continue to explore the types of eating behaviors and physical activity involvement through qualitative research and gender sensitive questionnaires. |
