Abstract

The sport, particularly basketball, fosters the social and personal development of young people, but
its impact on gender equality remains under-exploited. The purpose of this study is to explore the
impact of a physical education and sports programme on reducing gender inequalities and the personal
development of pupils through school basketball. The study encompassed a total of 340 students, with
49.41% of them being from middle school and the remaining 50.59% from high school. To assess
participants' perceptions of gender equality, the promotion of potential, and community life, Likert
scales were employed. A descriptive analysis of frequencies and percentages was conducted, followed
by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to evaluate the impact of socio-demographic and sporting
variables. A Spearman's correlation test was utilised to ascertain the relationships between the
variables.
