Abstract

Les hommes et les femmes ont des niveaux de pratique de l’activité physique différents. Les variables associées à cette pratique varient également entre les sexes. Les interventions de promotion de l’activité physique devraient donc tenir compte de ces spécificités. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel 2007
