Associations between organized sports participation and objectively measured physical activity, sedentary time and weight status in youth

Abstract: Engagement in organized sports is related to higher levels of objectively measured MPA, VPA and achieving the recommended levels of MVPA in youth; however participation in sports appears unrelated to time spent sedentary and BMI. Our results suggest that promoting organised sport may increase physical activity of at least moderate intensity in young people.

“…Recently, we also observed that 85% of a cohort of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus did not reach physical activity recommendations (unpublished data). The current data reveal that all of our JDM patients, except one (94.7%), performed insufficient levels of physical activity, which is even beyond the high prevalence rates found in epidemiological studies involving healthy pediatric populations around the world (i.e., 61.4-80%) [31][32][33][34]. Additionally, time spent in sedentary behavior experienced by our cohort (69.54%) is clearly greater to that seen in apparently healthy children (55-60%) assessed in previous studies [32,35].…”

“…This may be even more relevant for older adolescents, as they may be more likely to choose these new types of activities than younger adolescents may, the latter being more constrained by parents and caretakers in their choice of leisure‐time activities. Previously, the importance of participation in organized sports for level of overall PA and LVPA has been documented in cross‐sectional studies, and changes over time have not been identified . To this end, Ekelund et al called for repeated cross‐sectional surveys of population‐representative samples in order to properly examine the magnitude and direction of recent changes in PA levels and sports participation of adolescents …”

“…coach, instructor, or teacher) [2] and have been related with raising the time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity and decreasing the youth's health risk [1,3]. Previous studies show that individuals engaged in OPA are more likely to achieve the physical activity guidelines [4], have greater levels of PA [3] and spend more time in moderate, vigorous [4], when compared to non-participants. Thus, understand the variables related with OPA represent a promising strategy for enhancing youth's health.…”
