Gender Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update 2011 City of Marquette Membership in high end health clubs and private lessons for various skills is a choice for those with higher incomes. The female population is 48.2% (10,283) and the male population is 51.8% (11,072) in Marquette. This is slightly different than the national average. Typically, the female population is generally larger than the male population in most developed countries. This is primarily because of the higher life expectancy among women as compared to men. From a planning perspective, there are some trends which differentiate the female from the male user of parks and recreation services. Those differences are: Females Males Women participate in fitness programs outside the home more than men do There is increased interest in opening traditional men‘s sports to women Women‘s and girl‘s sports are growing exponentially which is due, in part, to the increasing number of women‘s professional teams and media coverage Yoga and Tai Chi are two of the more popular activities selected by females in an indoor setting A greater percentage of females participate in exercise walking, exercising with equipment, swimming, aerobic exercising, workouts at a club, volleyball, ice/figure skating and kick boxing than do males Women are more likely to use exercise equipment that focuses on cardiovascular wellbeing The fastest growing expenditure for sports-related activities by male teens is for adventure sports like skateboarding, in-line skating, BMX biking and cycling Participation in structured programs is decreasing and movement is toward individual activities Most popular activities, in order, include exercise walking, camping, exercising with equipment, swimming, bowling and fishing Men are more likely to use exercise equipment that stresses muscular development/toning 15
