原文: Research suggests that only a quarter of girls in England meet current recommended levels of physical activity each week, with the proportion taking part in regular sport falling steeply after the age of 10. What’s more, one in five girls do no physical activity at all, twice the proportion of boys.However, other research suggests that more than 80% of senior women business leaders played organized sports while growing up. Similar high proportions of female executives believe sport made them more disciplined, resilient and competitive in their careers.For example, former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was once a competitive figure skater and tennis player. And many Olympic medalists are excellent role models for young women. But experts say women ’s sport needs better funding and more media coverage. And it is necessary to offer a large range of sports to attract different types of women.
