“A study by the Women’s Sports Foundation published last year highlights the difference sports make in the lives of Latina girls. Playing sports has a “powerful protective effect,” it concludes. Latina athletes are less likely to be overweight and are more likely to develop healthy eating habits than Latinas who don’t play.
Clearly, programs designed to lift Latina girls from their cycle of de-spair should include recreation and sports. They should also aim at preteens, many of whom are already obese.”
