Abstract

It is known that as young people transition through school, fewer participate in sport and recreation and physical activity decreases, this is even more so for young women in their teens. Harbour Sport (HS) has very clear objectives related to increasing participation in sport and recreation. This includes cycling which encompasses a number of genres (road, track, BMX and mountain biking) as well as being closely connected to active transport and recreational cycling. With this in mind Harbour Sport established this project with the end outcome being more female students cycling.
