That is a very interesting question. I am sorry that I do not have the information.

Hi,

You could have a look on the following article talking on arabo-muslim women in France and their sport activity. Also, 2of the authors - Jacques Mikulovic and Gilles Bui Xuan- are on Researchgate so taht you can keep in touch with them.

Hope it can be useful even if it is in french (but keep a look on the bibliography also...)

Best wishes,

Christophe
