Have your say on the gender exercise gap
move every mind
Did you know there is a gender exercise gap?
At ASICS, we believe everyone should be able to experience the positive physical and mental benefits of exercise.
But we know the reality is different. ASICS' 2022 State of Mind Index uncovered a gender exercise gap with women exercising significantly less than men.
To better understand what is driving this exercise inequality and what can be done to tackle it, we are asking people to share their perspectives and experiences.
Together, we can move every mind.
Wherever you are in the world, we want to hear from you.
Whether you exercise regularly or not at all, whether you're a woman or influence women, your view counts.

Why is ASICS doing this study?
We know there’s a gender exercise gap. Women are exercising significantly less than men. Many women have stopped exercising and many girls don’t have the chance to regularly exercise in the first place. Sportswomen aren’t always given the same opportunities and can face more challenges than their male counterparts. Your voice matters in helping us understand why and support us in tackling exercise inequality.
Can I invite a friend to join the study?
Of course! Simply share the survey link with them or post it on socials with the hashtag #MoveEveryMind. The more people involved, the better.
What data will be collected?
The survey is anonymous. It will ask for your gender, age, employment status, socio-economic status and exercise habits. If you’d like to share more with ASICS, including your personal details, story or views on what needs to be done to tackle exercise inequality, please register your details here.
