Ellas son más sedentarias desde la secundaria y van más lentas con el cuidado del corazón

Abstract

Two articles are presented that disclose aspects about adolescents (They are more sedentary from high school: these are the barriers that adolescents encounter and what leads them to opt for walking) that show how in Spain only 23% of high school girls reach the level of physical activity recommended by the WHO, compared to 49% of boys. Female cardiovascular health, in addition to having its own characteristics compared to men, also presents different ways of attending to it and caring for it, as analyzed in the article «In the exercise of caring for the heart, women are behind», which reports that women are at a disadvantage since, due to various factors, they do less physical exercise, which is key to preventing cardiovascular pathologies.
