The Relationship of Young Adults’ Health and Their Sports Participation
Traditional sport participation has been associated with improved physical, psychological, and social skill outcomes. Engagement in action sports has increased considerably since the late 1980s, yet associated research is limited. This study examines and compares young adults' health and their participation in action sports, traditional sports, both sports types, or in neither of the sports types. Data were collectedfrom 687 traditional public university students who self-reported their sport participation history, frequency and mode. Health was assessed with the young adult Salutogenic Wellness Promotion Scale (SWPS-YA). While no significant differences, positive or negative, in overall health benefits between sports types were found, differences in the health behavior across the seven measured domains by sport participation were observed. In all cases, involvement in action or traditional sports was associated with greater health benefits than non-participation suggesting youth should be encouraged to participate in either or both sport typesfor health promotion.
Sports practices related to alcohol and tobacco use among high school students
Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria, 2015
Objective: To examine the relationship between alcohol and tobacco use and sports in a national sample of secondary students. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled a representative sample of secondary students from public and private schools from all 27 Brazilian state capitals. Students were assessed in 2010 by a self-report questionnaire including questions on drug use and sport activity in the last month (n=13,872). Results: Subjects who played sports exhibited a higher frequency of alcohol use and heavy episodic drinking than their peers who did not play sports. Practices that were associated with higher odds of heavy episodic drinking in the last month included gym, weight training (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.0, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.6-2.4), and soccer (aOR: 1.3, 95%CI 1.1-1.5). Fighting, martial arts, or capoeira were associated with smoking (aOR: 1.9, 95%CI 1.2-3.2). Conclusion: These results suggest a relationship between some sports preferences and a higher risk of alcohol or tobacco use among Brazilian secondary students. This relationship should be considered in preventive programs.
Sport and physical activity participation and substance use among adolescents
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2005
To examine the association between participation in specific school-sponsored sports and out-of-school sports/physical activities and substance use. Methods: Subjects consisted of 891 8th grade youth from three schools. Baseline data were collected using the Youth Alcohol & Drug Survey (2000) and following standardized protocols. Logistic regressions were conducted to identify associations between the independent variables of school-sponsored sports, and out-of-school sports/physical activities, and each of the four substance use dependent variables, while controlling for race. Additionally, logistic regressions were run separately for males and females to examine gender differences. Results: Participation in any one of seven specific sports/physical activities was associated with increased substance use for one or both genders, whereas participation in any one of four other specific sports/physical activities was associated with decreased use for one or both genders. Those sports associated with increased use differed for males and females, as did those associated with decreased use. Females in school-sponsored dance/cheerleading/gymnastics were at decreased risk of alcohol use, whereas those in out-of-school dance/cheerleading/ gymnastics, skateboarding or surfing were at increased risk for using at least one substance. Males in out-of-school swimming were at decreased risk of heavy alcohol use, whereas those in school-sponsored football, swimming, wrestling or out-of-school tennis were at increased risk for using at least one substance. Conclusions: Educators cannot assume all sports/physical activities have a positive relationship with youth substance use. School-sponsored, male-dominated sports appeared to be associated with an increased substance use risk for males, whereas out-of-school, mixed-gender sports appeared to be for females.
Participation in sports and alcohol consumption among French adolescents
Addictive Behaviors, 2004
Using an anonymous self-report questionnaire (N = 816 participants), we examined the relation between participation in sports and alcohol consumption and identified the risk factors associated with alcohol consumption among French high-school students. Univariate analysis showed that sport involvement was related to higher alcohol use ( P < .05). Participants who participated in group sports drank significantly more than those who participated as individuals ( P < .01). Multivariate analysis underlined factors associated with alcohol consumption, but these varied considerably according to the level of alcohol consumption. Three factors were associated with weekly and daily alcohol use: male gender, daily cigarette use, and perception of poor health. D
Organized Youth Sports Trajectories and Adult Health Outcomes: The Young Finns Study
American Journal of Preventive Medicine
Introduction: This study identified the trajectories of organized youth sports over 9 years in youths aged 9−18 years and examined whether the trajectories predicted physical activity, sedentary behavior, and obesity in midlife. Methods: Self-reported organized youth sports trajectories were identified for participants between 1980 and 1989 (N=3,474). Accelerometer-derived physical activity was quantified for participants (n=1,349) in 2018−2020. Sociodemographic, physical activity, and TV viewing data were collected through questionnaires either at baselines or follow-up. Adult BMI was calculated to clarify obesity. Associations of organized youth sports trajectories with adult physical activity, sedentary behavior, and obesity were evaluated using mixture models, which were stratified by sex and conducted in 2022. Results: Three organized youth sports trajectories were identified for boys and girls (sustained high-sports participation, 12.0%/7.5%; sustained moderate-sports participation, 14.0%/13.3%; and low-sports/nonparticipation, 74.0%/79.2%). Boys sustaining both moderate-and high-sports participation had higher levels of adult self-reported physical activity (b=0.59, p=0.007; b=0.69, p<0.001) than low-sports/nonparticipating boys. Girls sustaining both moderate-and high-sports participation accumulated more total physical activity (b=113.4, p=0.009; b=144.3, p=0.002), moderate-tovigorous physical activity (b=7.86, p=0.016; b=14.01, p<0.001), step counts (b=1,020, p=0.003; b=1,045, p=0.005), and self-reported physical activity (b=0.79, p<0001; b=0.63, p=0.003) in midlife than their low-sports/nonparticipating counterparts. Girls sustaining moderate-sports participation accumulated more light-intensity physical activity (b=19.79, p=0.012) and less sedentary time (b= À27.65, p=0.002), and those sustaining high-sports participation had lower obesity prevalence (OR=0.41, p=0.009) 40 years later than low-sports/nonparticipating girls. Conclusions: Sustained participation in organized youth sports is independently predictive of physical activity patterns, sedentary time, and obesity in midlife, especially in girls, thus contributing to the development of a healthy and active lifestyle across the life course.

Health behaviors in youth can predict the same behaviors later in life, but the role of sport participation in predicting healthy lifestyle habits is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between participation in organized youth sport and adult healthy lifestyle habits. Data from the longitudinal Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (YFS) with a 28 year follow-up was used. The participation in sport-club training sessions was self-reported by 9-18-year olds in 1983 and 1986 (n=1285). During 2011, participants (aged 37-43-year old) reported their smoking status, alcohol consumption, fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity. Odd ratios (OR) were calculated using logistic regression, to examine how participation in organized youth sport was associated with having three or four versus fewer (0-2) healthy habits in adulthood. Participants who were active in youth sport in both 1983 and 1986 had almost two times greater odds of having three or four healthy habits in adulthood than those who were not active at both time points (OR: 1.75, 95%CI: 1.11-2.76). When the analyses were stratified by sex, the findings were statistically significant among females (OR: 2.13, 95%Cl: 1.13-3.99) but not males (OR: 1.27, 95%CI: 0.63-2.58). The results suggest that participation in organized youth sport could promote healthy lifestyle choices.
How healthy is the behavior of young athletes? A systematic literature review and meta-analyses
Journal of Sports …, 2012
Participation in sports during adolescence is considered a healthy behavior. The extent to which adolescent athletes engage in other healthful (or risky) behaviors is less clear, however. We conducted a systematic literature review following the PRISMA Statement to assess the frequency of risky behaviors among athletes in this age group. We searched the PubMed, PsycINFO and SCA Sociological Abstracts databases for observational studies published in English over the last twenty years on the frequency of selected risk behaviors (alcohol consumption, smoking behavior, use of illicit drugs, unhealthy nutrition, and doping) in adolescent athletes. Two independent reviewers selected articles following the PRISMA Statement. Behavior frequency was assessed as was comparability of study design and methods. When possible, meta-analyses were performed using data from subgroups of studies in which operational indicators were comparable. Seventy-eight articles met eligibility criteria. Although report of risky behaviors varied across studies, we observed overall, that studies tend to report higher alcohol use, less smoking, less recreational drug use, and more smokeless tobacco use in (high-involved) athletes. Considerable heterogeneity was noted in study design, definition of target groups and use of operational indicators (I² ranged from 93.2% to 100%). Especially the higher prevalence of using alcohol and smokeless tobacco needs more attention in interventions targeted to this group. Overall, greater consensus on methods used to assess risky behaviors in adolescent athletes. . (2010) Trends in alcohol-related traffic risk behaviors among college students.
Does Sport Participation Protect Adolescents from Alcohol Consumption? A Scoping Review
2023
(1) Background: Participation in youth sports is believed to protect against alcohol consumption. Although this concept has been questioned for over 40 years, the review of methodologically reliable evidence data is scarce. This review summarizes the state of knowledge on the association between practicing sports and alcohol consumption among adolescents (10–19 years old) and its moderators. (2) Methods: The review covers only random-sample-based and population research. A systematic search was conducted on Scopus, PubMed, and WoS, for articles published between 2000 and 2021. From the 1944 identified records, 139 advanced to the full-text review, and 32 to the final data extraction and quality review. (3) Results: About two-thirds of the studies, including all the longitudinal ones, showed a positive association between sport participation and alcohol consumption. The most common mediators were gender (males were at higher risk), discipline (odds for team sports were higher, but professionalization could reduce it), and race, which intersected with gender, putting white males at the highest risk. (4) Conclusions: Further longitudinal research based on random samples using standardized indicators, including psychological and social variables, may provide more consistent outcomes and allow for the identification of mediating mechanisms.
