Boys versus girls: Sports That are Traditionally Dominated by One Sex
Sports, in contrast to its ideals of fair play and comradeship, have different fields or disciplines that have been traditionally dominated by a particular sex. Most contact sports such as basketball and football are usually played by males since these involve a lot of physical activity. Females, on the other hand, have excelled in sports such as figure skating and synchronised swimming.
