In this section, knowledge about the social reflections of gender stereotypes in physical education and sports and their effects on male and female individuals is included. The term stereotype, which has literally been transferred to our language as "stereotype", has been the subject of research in many fields from education to sports. Stereotypes are widely internalized ideas about certain types of individuals and groups for which there is no scientific evidence. Although stereotypes affect individuals in different ways in each society, they generally have similar characteristics. Stereotypes can be directed at social class, race, as well as religion, and gender. Individuals and societies can create some stereotypes about gender over time and attribute them to gender groups. Stereotypes, for example; can have positive and negative effects on an individual's academic achievement, sports performance, or motivation for a physical education course. There are many studies that try to explain the gender differences between men and women in physical education and sports in terms of various variables.

In this research, certain guidelines have been reached by examining the studies on gender stereotypes in both physical education classes and sports.
