Notably, although most participants agreed that the University does not have enough equipment to facilitate adequate participation in sports-related activities for its female students. One issue is the equipment that female students do not have access to gym facilities on the University’s territory. To further explore what equipment is necessary for a successful female health education program, such as treadmills and strength training equipment. This would require the University to invest in constructing the gym and adjacent facilities, such as locker rooms and showers for females. Other options include equipment for active types of sports – tennis, football, or others.
Regarding the curriculum, the research indicates that most participants agree on the lack of preparedness of the faculty and inadequate curriculum program that hinders students’ access to exercising. One issue is that the health education program for females was modified from a male program with some slight modifications to ensure that it can be applied for female students as well. However, the research suggests that it is necessary to develop a curriculum for female students from scratch, considering the specifics of female physical health.
Another aspect for consideration is having faculty from outside Saudi Arabia. On the one hand, this can have a negative effect on female students because of the faculty’s misunderstanding of the local culture and traditions. As a result, there may be a misunderstanding between the faculty and the students regarding the sports activities because of cultural differences. It is possible that having staff members from Saudi Arabia, who would be in charge of sports education would be more beneficial because these faculty members would consider the cultural specifics and the context of implementing appropriate female sports education programs into the curriculum.
