“…For instance, in his review of Islam and physical activity, Kahan (2003) suggested that parental concern over girls having contact with boys, immodest clothing, unacceptable facilities, and commitments to family (e.g., keeping house and watching siblings) were plausible reasons for the lack of physical activity participation by girls.

While it is common sense to enact a zero-tolerance policy regarding teasi ng and bullying toward any student, proactive fin e-tuning of ex isting curriculum may eliminate these probl ems.…”

“…Far fewer studies have focused on associations between PA and religion/religiosity.
