ABSTRACT
This article aimed to evaluate the frequency of men and women, the averages of the entrance test and application grade to higher education, as well as the option of applying, in all sport courses, in Portugal. The data was collected on the website of the General Directorate for Higher Education. The results show that there are statistically significant differences in terms of gender representation, favorable to men in all courses in sports. Despite the fact that women have average entry and application grade averages equal to or higher than those of men, these are the ones that are most frequently placed in all application options. Women seem to continue to avoid areas of sport as areas of higher education.
