Abstract
In recent years the debate has taken strength between single-sex education and sexually mixed education. Supporters of the first are based on the biological differences between boys and girls. The subject where more impact these differences is the Physical Education. In our school we have a scientific experiment that involved 938 students, for 8 years, to check what kind of education is better in the subject of Physical Education. The conclusion seems clear: in mixed classes students get better performance, especially boys. This article contains the detailed description of the experiment, the results, a detailed analysis of them and conclusions.
