 This study found that male students had better knowledge and attitudes towards physical exercise compared to their female counterparts. However, both genders did not put in enough time in physical exercise. The study also revealed that girls participated more in physical exercise, but this was not reflected in the amount of time they spent doing it. To address this issue, school curricula should be modified to include more physical activities and allocate more time for physical education classes.
