For this reason, the aims of the present research were to establish differences in gender stereotypes in sport among teachers and trainers as a function of profession and sex and to analyze the influence of age and years of experience of male and female trainers and teachers on the gender stereotypes in sport. For this purpose, 127 teachers and trainers completed the questionnaire \u201cgender beliefs and stereotypes towards physical activity and sport\u201d. The results showed a significantly higher score of the teachers in \u201cbeliefs about physical activity and gender\u201d (p = 0.048) and of the trainers in \u201cphysical education classes and gender\u201d (p = 0.006). Concerning sex, women showed higher scores in \u201csport and gender\u201d (p = 0.005), and men in \u201cbeliefs about physical activity and gender\u201d (p = 0.045). Regarding covariates, age showed significant differences in \u201csport and gender\u201d (p = 0.029), with female teachers showing higher values with respect to female trainers and male teachers, while years of experience showed differences in \u201cbeliefs about sport and gender\u201d (p = 0.044), with male teachers showing higher values than male trainers and female teachers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph182412964","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,8]],"date-time":"2021-12-08T23:30:00Z","timestamp":1639006200000},"page":"12964","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Gender Stereotypes among Teachers and Trainers Working with Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8111-8358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adri\u00e1n","family":"Mateo-Orcajada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9583-737X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luc\u00eda","family":"Abenza-Cano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2708-4817","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Vaquero-Crist\u00f3bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5380-8976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sonia M.","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social Sciences and Communication, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2096-0274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Leiva-Arcas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"},{"name":"Olympic Games Center, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Mar\u00eda","family":"Gallardo-Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5798-8756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Pato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"},{"name":"Olympic Games Center, Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM), 135, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-007-9364-4","article-title":"Gender and Sex Diversity in Sport Organizations: Concluding Comments","volume":"58","author":"Fink","year":"2008","journal-title":"Sex Roles"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Physical activity practice and sports preferences in a group of Spanish schoolchildren depending on sex and parental care: A gender perspective","volume":"20","author":"Perea","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Pediatr."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"625","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-005-3730-x","article-title":"Adolescents\u2019 Perceptions of Masculine and Feminine Values in Sport and Physical Education: A Study of Gender Differences","volume":"52","author":"Klomsten","year":"2005","journal-title":"Sex Roles"},{"key":"ref_4","first-page":"377","article-title":"Perceived characteristics of sports categorized as gender-neutral, feminine and masculine","volume":"24","author":"Koivula","year":"2001","journal-title":"J.
