I disagree about the fact that boys are better than girls in sports especially running.Most boys can run fast but their stamina might be a different thing,while the girls can run very fast too,they can even overtake some boys.So far,girls don't usually run very fast but their stamina can be very high which means they might overtake some boys at some point in a race.To speak the truth,i think girls and boys are almost on par,it just depends how good your stamina and sprint speed is.
i agree to the fact that girls are better than boys in sports in almost everything for example,running,most boys can run fast they have stamina. however,girls,are slightly slower and have lesser stamina than boys.For me, i can sprint very fast and the speed an also last for quite awhile that means i have a certain level of stamina.I still can keep up with jun wei.which i think is quite okay.Another example i am going to state is doing push-ups or pumping i am quite sustainable in push-ups this is not surprising as but most boys are normally more sustainable than girls.
I disagree that boys are better than girls in sports to a certain extent because boys have a more muscular structure as compared to girls.But sports do not depend on structures, they depend on your stamina. To be good in sports, it very much depenads on yur stamina and your speed alot.Therefore, I do not agree to this fact that boys are better than girls in sports.
I disagree as girls and boys are normal pupils,no one is different in sports except that if one has a poor stamina or how frequent he/she excercise.This can cause a different in a race espically 1.6km.in the sports day,teachers usually seprate the class into boys and girls but this does not tell us that boys are better than girls.Sometimes,timings of girls are faster than boys in a race.The size of a person also affects the timings and stamina.Some people run slow during the start of the race but they are able to sprint very fast and be the first.Why?Because they excercise frequently and do some Vigorous workouts.So....... it is not totally true about boys better than girls in sports .
I agree and disagree about the fact that boys are better than girls in sports because,in most cases boys out do the girls but who wins who also depends on the opponents.Most boys can run very well but SOME girls actually can out run some boys.So I am sitting on the fence.There is no difference between boys and girls it depends on thier level on fitness.For example, a girl who trains every day CAN out do a boy who does not do exercise usually.
I think that it all depends on what sport is being played.In sports like soccer/football boys are generally better.But,if in sports like captain ball or gymnastics girls are definitely better.The next thing to talk about is the fitness of that boy/girl.Even if you are a boy,you can be unfit and lose to girls.As a matter of fact i am a living example,i am a boy but I can't even do 2 or 3 push-ups.So,basically both genders are equal.
First of all, i think there is no right or wrong in the perspectives. But i would like to point out that boys mostly really are better than girls in sports. On the other hand, boys like to play more and girls do not really bother about the sports things and be rather focused on studies. Some girls might be better maybe they would make time for training in certain sports.(or some are really have good staminar)The thing is: Boys like to compare with each other and would not want themselves to 'lose face'. It is also not so particular for the girls that we just want to only PASS the NAPFA (or other tests).
But i want to focus on the main point, and add that i myself is sitting on the fence ,being typical i think it just takes time for the training. Sports is about our minds and is optional for people who wants to focus more on their studies.
In conclusion, boys may or maynot be better in sports.
I disagree with it because how good one is in sports depend on that person's fitness and skill for that sport. The thing is that boys have something which the girls do not have in their bodies to rise above the girls in sports that make people think that boys are superior in sports. I do not think that it helps the boys be stronger as i am one of the slowest runners in class. Justin Yee
I disagree that boys are better than girls in sports.Even though,most of the boys can run faster than girls but girls can run very fast too,except that girls' and boys' stamina might be different.Girls could be weak in push-ups and some vigorous exercises.In fact,girls can be very good at sports if they exercise more often.So,I disagree that boys are better than girls in sports.
I feel that girls can be better than boys at some times. Of course boys are usually better at NAPFA tests and races. I feel that some girls, like me, do not like sports and, other than P.E, do not exercise often. Like Joyce, I feel that boys act a teeny bit obnoxious at times, not wanting to lose face, (with exceptions) will try to do their very best. For example, my brother, Frans, will brag when he gets home, (e.g. "jie, i got first in class for 1.6 leh!!!", "i got A for standing board jump!!!" Notice he does not say anything about his weaknesses) making me annoyed and frustrated. Girls, on the other hand, just want to pass and get over it. So, I feel that if girls use their best efforts and determination, they WILL be able to surpass the boys in whatever they do. OF course, the boys should do Their best too,to be fair.:-)

I disagree with the fact that boys are better in sports than girls. I think we are all equal. It is true that some boys are good at sports but girls can be good as well.I am not good at running but most people are. I prefer to run long distances than sprinting but more girls are better at sprinting so therefore, i disagree that boys are better at sports than girls.Cherian Chua
I bisagree about the fact that boys are better that girls in sports. I thinks both sex are same. AS for me, I am week in short run but strong in 1.6run so it is hard to say. It also depends on their stamina and potential in sports. I think girls have more stamina while boys have more potential so we cannot say boys are better in sports.
I disagree that boys are better than girls in sports because it must depend on how hard working they are. If you compare a boy who don't pratice with a gril who always pratice, of course the girl will be better. And some girls can run faster than boys. Thus, i do not agree that boys are better than girls in sport.
I disagree that boys are better in sports than girls. It all depends on that persons intrest in sports. For me, i do not have stamina but do normal in other sports except for long distance running. Girls who exercises more will definatly do good in sports if they are interested in it.So once again, it all depends on the persons interest in sports. I like sports because i think its fun so i do normal in it.
i disagree the fact that boys are better than girls in sports. Some girls may be good in jumping while some boys may be good in running.Sports all depends on your stamina and peservance , as long as you are good in certain sports ,it is very good already. As for me,i think that both sex are the same . But i believe that boys have more stamina than girls , as some boys are born to be stronger than girls.
i diagree that boys are better in sports than girls... like some sports, for example table tennis,volleyball,netball. most of them are girls and female. and they do well too.some of the girls stamina are better than boys.

i agree that boys are better in sports than girls. For example: even thought i am short, i still can run more faster than some boys and girls that are taller than me.But i also disgree that boys are better in sports in girls.Girls have good stamina so if the boy stamina is poor , the girl could easily take over him.So,i disagree and agree that boys ae better in sports than girls.
I disagree about the fact that boys are better in sports than girls.Although boys are quite good in their stamina,a few of us are only good at sprinting for short distances.However,the stamina level could be quite different between the boys and girls at times.For instance, girls are better than boys in gymnastics but boys usually come in first in the NAPFA.The fitness level of boy's are usually better than the girl's.In conclusion,the boys and girls are outstanding in different sports.
i don't believe that boys are better than girls in sports. It is totally not true at all. It depends on how you build your stamina or how fit you really are like how many days to exercise(daily,weekly or even yearly!!!For some busy people) Even though it seems that most boys are better than girls in sports that does not mean that boys are really better.Lee Ziao Cinch
I both disagree and agree with the fact that boys are better in sports compared to girls. In some occasion, boys might be better than girls but in other occasion girls may be better than boys in sports. Sometime it depends on whether someone knows how to play or not, and sometimes it depends whether it is a boy or a girl playing in that sports.
i disagree with the fact thaat girls are better than boys in sports. I think as long as you train hard enough you will be good in that sport and may be even better.Everybody is the same!(not exactly)
I don't agree that boys are better than girls at running.Although some boys are faster than girls at running,this does not mean that all boys are faster then girls.Actually running depends on the person's stamina and speed.Talking about this,it reminds me about a experience.When i was in primary 3,a average girl actually overtook the fastest running boy in class.Therefore,running fast depends on how you train your running and how much you train it.
I disagree about the fact that boys are better than girls. For instance, running, most boys can run fast but girls have a higher stamina than us, if we are having a long run competition with the girls, the girls might overtake us. It actually depends on your body structure, your stamina and your passion to excel in sports. For me, I like sports as it trains my stamina and the same time, it also keeps me fit.
I totally disagree that guys are better than girls in sports.But,maybe at certain sports.As for girls,they may or can be good at swimming,dance,gymastics or what so ever.As for boys,they may have a lot of sports that they are good at but girls can do them too.Like for example,you all may think that soccer are for guys,not the ladies.However,I have two friends who are in love in soccer.Even for me.Don't jugde a book by its cover.I have a cousin(a girl)joining gymnastics as her CCA and she looks infact very,very skinny and thin.But once she shows her muscles,she longs so strong and muscular for her age,primary 5.So the conclusion is that,girls can be better at sports!
i disagree boys are better than girls in sport as everyone has weak and strong points.girls are better than boys in gymnastic and boys can do more push up than girls.i think it depends on whether you want to train or not and how good is your stamina.
I disagree that boys are always better at sports than girls. This is because boys might be better at running, push-ups... while girls might be better at swimming, gymastics, netball... It also depends if you train everyday. I think that MOST boys have the stamina to run longer distance than girls is because as they usually run. But girls can run fast too if they train hard enough. In actual fact, i think that both girls and boys each have our own advantage in different kind of sports.
I do not really agree that boys are better in sports than girls. Most of the time is whether you normally exercise because if you usually exercise you will do well in sports. It's all about practice makes perfect. In a way, I think boys are better in sports than girls because during the olypics its obvious that boys are better in sports than girls if you just see the timings itself.
I do not agree with the statement. It is true that boys are stronger than girls and they may also have a more muscular structure. However, the result of a sport depends on talents and techniques one uses in the sport. Speed and stamina are also vital and some girls have more of them than boys.

It is very hard to tell whether boys are better at sport than girls,it is like comparing an apple with a pear. Genarlly,the boys are stronger than the girls due to their bone structure. but like i say,it is hard to tell. Boys are good at some sports,while girls are also good at some other diferent sports. If one wants to compare whether boys are better at sport than girls,i'll tell them frankly that it is almost imposible. It also depends on the techniques and skills one uses in the sport.
I disagree that boys are better at sports compared to girls because it really depends on whether the person have been exercising regularly.And it also depends on the stamina of the person.That is why sometimes girls are better at sports than boys. for children it really depends but for adults, it is definite that men are better at sports than women just by looking at the Olympic records.

i dont agree that boys are better than girls in sports.some girls in our class are very fit and can outrun the boys.perhaps the boys do better in some kind of sports like soccer and basketball and girls in gymnatics,still there is no clear difference.

I disagree that boys are better than girls in sports although boys have a more muscular structure than girls.Girls are more 'flexible' and so are better in somesports such as Gymnastics and the different dances all over the world(of course not all).Boys' stamina and their muscles are a great advantage to them,allowing them,or rather us,allowing us to do more vigorous exercise.NOt all boys can run very fast(Justin cannot run fast,and Janus cannot throw a javelin very far[like me]).Angered by the fact that not all boys are excelling in their sports,

I disagree that boy is better than girl in sport. This will have to depend on your interest in that sport and your daily/weekly exercise. If both boy and girl are introduce to a new sport that they never do before,I believe that both side will be on par.
I think that both genders can do well. The only thing is to train. Some boys are not good at running, but they can be good in something else. Some girls are good at running, but are bad at something else. So, I think that it is impossible to prove that this fact is true or false.
I am on neither side of the debate.I don't agree that boys or girls are better at sports.I think that the most important point of sports is not winning but it is about sportsmanship.Stamina is another key point in sports.One must have the stamina as most sports requires stamina.In most games (e.g soccer)you will have to play it for at least half an hour.Without stamina,you will be very tired even before the game ends.However if one trains daily,one's stamina will build up and one will be able to withstand the sports requirements.I beleive if girls train hard they will win the boys and if the boys slack,they will definitely lose to the girls very quickly.Although now the boys are better at sports,if the girls are willing to work hard, they will win the boys.Some boys are good at sports,some are not so good.Just take the sports class for example.If they choose 11 of their best soccer players and we choose 11 of our best soccer players,we will still lose to them because they are fitter.So people in our class may be the best but dont't forget you are not the best in the whole school nor the whole world.
Dear class,
Your comments and discussions are really good! I am really impressed, especially some of you who really shared in-depth about why boys are basicaly very different from girls, hence there is no basis for comparison.
Well done!
Miss Yu
I disagree that boys are better than girls in sports eg. running because everyone is the same. The difference is that some of us exercise more than others. Thus, have a higher stamina than others.
i dont think that way. Because girls can win me at running, especially in the 1.6 run! Few girls are sure very good in sports but in the strength we have, we are much stronger.
