Girls identified a number of barriers to being active in school - including not feeling confident, having their period, not liking being watched by others, and worrying about their appearance.
The number of girls who say they enjoy physical education in school has dropped over the past six years, a report suggests. Less than two thirds of female pupils in England said they liked taking part in PE lessons compared with 86% of male pupils, in a survey by the Youth Sport Trust charity. This is down from the results of a similar survey in the 2016/17 academic year, when 74% of girls said they enjoyed PE.
Ali Oliver, chief executive of the charity, said: 'Not only should this research raise alarm bells about future adult activity levels and the consequences of this, but it is devastating for the physical and mental health of young women today. 'At a time of unprecedented low levels of social and emotional wellbeing, we know getting things right for girls in PE can be life-changing.
