The coeducation girls had significant higher scores on body fat, expectancy cost from significant others than single-gender school girls. 2. According to hierarchical regression analysis showed that controlling coeducation and single-gender school factors, ability expectancy, global physical self-concept and task value significant predicted exercise behavior. Conclusions: The single-gender education may to facilitate adolescent girls to expand positive exercise attitude and self-concept.
