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.

Yet women have a complex relationship with embodiment and physical activity that is difficult for quantitative scientific approaches to explore. 410 0$aRoutledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society 606 $aExercise for women 606 $aWomen in mass media 606 $aWomen$xHealth and hygiene 615 0$aExercise for women. 615 0$aWomen in mass media. 615 0$aWomen$xHealth and hygiene. 676 $a613.7/045 676 $a613.7045 701 $aKennedy$b Eileen$01690407 701 $aMarkula$b Pirkko$f1961-$01690408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822678103321 996 $aWomen and exercise$94066080 997 $aUNINA
