A number of female students in Nottingham are being urged to don their ladies fitness clothing and enjoy more sporting activities.

According to the Times Series, those attending Nottingham Trent University are to be provided with inspiration by Natalie Ekweogwu, a student from Barnet who is taking part in a Nike Select scheme.

She told the news provider: "My main role is to encourage girls and women of all abilities into sport."

The number of women getting involved in sporting activities is on the decline, Ms Ekweogwu noted, hence her attempts to try and improve participation.

Meanwhile, women in the north-west of England looking to enjoy some exercise, perhaps after putting on their ladies running wear, are being encouraged to take part in the Chester Race for Life event, the Ellesmere Port Pioneer has reported.

The event is due to be held in the city next month.
