“…Regarding gender differences, several studies have supported that woman present lower levels of PA compared to men, both in college age and in adulthood (Blanco et al, 2017;Carriedo et al, 2019;Gómez et al, 2006;Wilson &Rodgers, 2002) (Castañeda-Vázquez, Campos-Mesa andDel Castillo-Andrés, 2016). In addition, recent studies identify the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles in university students, especially in women (García Puello & Herazo Beltrán, 2015;Arévalo, Muñoz & Cuevas, 2016, Puerta Mateus et al, 2019 In the study conducted by Arévalo, Muñoz & Cuevas (2016), after corroborating the greater sedentary lifestyle in women than in men, an attempt was made to provide an explanation for these differences. In addition to the arguments about inequalities in gender roles widely discussed by other studies, these differences could also be explained by less availability for physical activity reported by women, due to the multiplicity of activities they have to perform since their youth, as well as the important differences in the motivations they show for physical activity.…”

“…Al respecto, existe una alta prevalencia de sedentarismo en los estudiantes universitarios, siendo menor en carreras afines al movimiento. Aunque, se ha reportado que los estudiantes de Contaduría Pública son físicamente activos, otros programas afines, como administración de negocios y de comercio presentan niveles muy bajos de actividad física entre sus estudiantes 10 . Estas conductas "mal sanas" pueden mantenerse durante la vida laboral, un estudio realizado en trabajadores administrativos del sector publico muestra que el 67% de los trabajadores no realiza ningún tipo de actividad física y el 54% de los encuestados permanece más de siete horas sentados frente a un ordenador 11 .…”
