The existence of a hegemonic power linked to gender roles in sport limits students' participation in sports aerobics. This hypothesis is supported by data collected from a survey of 24 students at Nambour High (Appendix 1). The survey involved 2 students, women and men, for each year level. This survey revealed that only 16% of students participated in sports aerobics activities and the majority of students were from their senior year. When students were asked what the gender of sport aerobics was, over half of the students responded as either male or female. However, 37% of students said that sport aerobics is only for women and 6 of the 9 students who responded were female, meaning that the majority of male students believe that sport aerobics is a women's sport. None of the students believed that sports aerobics was an exclusively male sport. 70% of students at all year levels believe that men are stronger than women. The only students who said women were women themselves. It is ingrained in the minds of students that men are stronger than women due to the media's lack of recognition of female athletes. Students only see strong male athletes such as rugby league players featured in the media. This represents 70% of students who do not watch any women's sports, and the only students who do were women. This result is due to the lack of female role models in the world
