“…For instance, 12 review papers have examined the association between child's PA and parent's PA (for review see (Yao and Rhodes, 2015)). Three of 12 studies do not support the link between child's PA and parent's PA (Trost and Loprinzi, 2011;Bauman, et al, 2012;Sterdt, et al, 2013) while eight of them found the relationship inconclusive (Sallis, et al, 2000;Biddle, et al, 2005;Gustafson and Rhodes, 2006;Van Der Horst, et al, 2007;Edwardson and Gorely, 2010;Craggs, et al, 2011;Biddle, et al, 2011;Webber and Loescher, 2013). Due to different findings, more research on this topic is needed.…”

“…Systematic reviews have synthesized evidence on correlates associated with PA in adolescent girls (Biddle, Atkin, Cavill, & Foster, 2011; Standiford, 2013). These reviews have identified personal and demographic, psychological, environmental and social correlates to be consistently associated with adolescent girls’ PA behaviour.…”

Purpose: Adolescent girls are not sufficiently active to achieve health benefits. Social support from friends and family has been positively associated with physical activity in adolescent girls; however it is unclear how social support influences physical activity behaviour. This study aimed to develop a grounded theory of how social support influences physical activity in adolescent girls. Methods: A qualitative, constructivist grounded theory approach was adopted. Individual interviews explored adolescent girls’ perspectives of how significant others’ influenced their physical activity through providing social support, and through modelling physical activity. Results: Participants perceived social support to influence physical activity behaviour through performance improvements, self-efficacy, enjoyment, motivation and by enabling physical activity. Improvements in performance and self-efficacy were also linked to motivation to be active. Girls perceived modelling to influence behaviour through providing opportunities for them to be physically active, and by inspiring them to be active. Conclusion: The grounded theory outlines adolescent girls’ perceptions of how significant others influence their physical activity and provides a framework for future research examining the role of social support on physical activity.

“…The studies showed that in Norwegian schools, boys reported to like PE more than girls (Flagestad, 1996;Flagestad and Skisland, 2002;Kjønniksen et al, 2009;Säfvenbom et al, 2014;Wabakken, 2010), although the differences were slight in most of these studies. Some studies also indicate that students who are involved in organized sports will most likely enjoy PE better than students who do not participate in such organized sports (Biddle et al, 2011;Flagestad, 1996;Flagestad and Skisland, 2002;Larsson and Redelius, 2008;Säfvenbom et al, 2014). This finding is not surprising, since PE is often perceived as a subject for participation in organized sports activities (Kirk, 2005;Moen, 2011).…”

Longitudinal studies on adolescents' enjoyment in physical education (PE) are lacking. This study examined students' self-reported enjoyment and predictors of enjoyment in PE in school among students from age 14 to 19, using questionnaires and interviews. From the results, enjoyment in PE increases among girls during high school, while students that participate weekly in organized sport report greater enjoyment in PE than those who are not, at the age of 14; but there is no such group difference in high school. Furthermore, the findings from the interview analysis highlight the importance of greater autonomy in high school.
