While exercise promotion has become an increasingly visible part of health campaigns, obesity among women is rising, and studies indicate that women are generally less physically active than men. Women's (lack of) exercise, therefore, has become a public concern, and physiological and psychological research has attempted to develop more effective exercise programs aimed at women. Yet women have a complex relationship with embodiment and physical activity that is difficult for quantitative scientific approaches to explore.Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and SocietyExercise for womenWomen in mass mediaWomenHealth and hygieneExercise for women.Women in mass media.WomenHealth and hygiene.613.7/045613.7045Kennedy Eileen1690407Markula Pirkko1961-1690408MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822678103321Women and exercise4066080UNINA
