    Description
    This course explores the historical, cultural, physiological, and social dimensions of women’s participation in sports and fitness. Students will examine the evolution of women’s roles in athletics, the impact of gender equity legislation (such as Title IX), media representation, and the intersectionality of gender, race, and culture in sports. Emphasis is placed on women’s contributions to sport, barriers to participation, leadership in fitness and athletics, and current trends in women’s health and exercise science.
