Abstract
Gender medicine is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the study of the influence of biological differences, defined by sex, and socioeconomic and cultural differences, defined by gender, on each person's health and disease status. Since gender bias is still strongly present and entrenched in medicine, recent studies indicate how crucial the teaching of gender medicine is in the training of doctors and health professionals to create not only a positive learning environment, but also a more equitable and organized healthcare system. Therefore, the aim of the following article is to highlight the importance of systematic teaching of gender medicine to improve the safety and effectiveness of prescribing personalized physical activity and sports. Keywords: gender medicine, sports, teaching, gender bias, cardiovascular disease, personalized physical activity.
