“…It is also important to consider the socio-economic disparities that exist within a country as diverse as Argentina. A study showed that adolescent Olympians (preparing for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires) were more likely to come from households with higher educational attainment and more socially advantaged backgrounds compared to other groups of adolescents [67]. Conversely, there is a lack of uniformity in sports development across the country, with the majority of athletes concentrated in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (the capital of the country).…”

The aim of this study was to examine athlete engagement and its relationships with indicators of the quality of the athlete’s sport experience, exploring potential differences according to gender, age, and competitive level. Furthermore, this study validated the Athlete Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ) in young athletes and confirmed its factor structure. A total of 1188 athletes (43.90% girls) from Argentina participated in the study, with a mean age of 15.92 (SD = 2.50). The participants completed the AEQ along with other measures of athletes’ quality of experience, such as motivation, enjoyment, and burnout. This study confirmed the multidimensional nature of engagement, showing positive associations with high-quality athlete experiences and revalidating the inverse relationship with burnout. Moreover, the study found differences in engagement dimensions (i.e., confidence, vigor, dedication, and enthusiasm) based on the interplay of gender, age, and competitive level. In general, male athletes, younger athletes, and those with a higher competitive level showed more engagement and interactions between these sociodemographic variables. The Argentinian version of AEQ exhibited optimal fit and reliability and good indexes of measurement invariance across gender, age, and competitive level. These findings validate the AEQ as a reliable tool for evaluating sport engagement among adolescents in Argentina. Engagement constitutes an indicator of an optimal experience linked to positive youth development through sports participation.

“…On average, 70.9% of children from families with low parental education level spend less than 2 h/week doing sport compared to 38.2% of children with high parental education level [ 45 ]. The higher the level of education, the higher the educational climate and the higher the likelihood of performing PA [ 87 ].…”

The socioeconomic and built environment of an area are interrelated with health data and have a direct influence on children’s development. There are facilitators and barriers for schools to promote physical activity depending on the socioeconomic status of the school. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between physical activity and sleep and the socioeconomic level of children in the Basque Country. The sample consisted of 1139 schoolchildren between the ages of six and seventeen (566 boys and 573 girls) from 75 schools (43 public and 32 private). Differences between groups were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test (two samples), Kruskal–Wallis one-factor ANOVA (k samples), and Spearman’s Rho correlation. There are sex differences in light (200.8 ± 62.5 vs. 215.9 ± 54.7) and moderate (69.0 ± 34.3 vs. 79.9 ± 32.1) physical activity in favour of the female group of higher socioeconomic status compared to male group of higher socioeconomic status. In the case of vigorous physical activity, the female group performed less than the male group across all socioeconomic statuses, which was statistically significant in the groups of high socioeconomic status (11.6 ± 9.3 vs. 6.9 ± 5.7) in group 2 and medium socioeconomic status (11.1 ± 9.3 vs. 7.7 ± 6.1) in group 3. There is an inverse relationship between sedentary behaviour and BMI, total bed time, total sleep time, and night-time awakenings. There is also an inverse relationship between all levels of physical activity performed with respect to BMI and total sleep efficiency. These data point towards notable inequalities in physical activity and daily sleep in Basque schoolchildren, which in turn may be marginalised in our current school system due to the effects of the socioeconomic environment.

“…De la misma forma, se presenta que las puntuaciones de AF disminuyen conforme decrece el NSE; así se confirma en una investigación con 4059 niños de seis años; donde el grupo con un mayor status socioeconómico presenta unas puntuaciones mayores tanto en los hábitos de vida saludables en general, como en la práctica de AF; por el contrario el grupo con un status socioeconómico menor se relacionó estrechamente con niveles más altos de sedentarismo (Yang-Huang, van Grieken, Wang, Jansen & Raat, 2020). Esta relación puede deberse, tanto al coste de acceso a prácticas deportivas, siendo una barrera para las familias con menor poder adquisitivo (Fernández-Prieto, Giné-Garriga & Canet, 2019); como a la influencia del nivel educativo de los padres, ya que conforme aumenta el clima educativo de los hogares se incrementa la probabilidad de práctica deportiva (Farinola, Tuñón, Laíño, Marchesich & Pérez, 2018).…”

En la adolescencia temprana se dan numerosas transformaciones y la adquisición de un estilo de vida saludable es trascendental para disminuir la aparición de enfermedades no transmisibles. Objetivo: analizar la relación entre la práctica de la actividad física (AF), la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (DM) y el nivel socioeconómico (NSE). Material y métodos: en esta investigación de diseño transversal participaron 112 escolares del tercer ciclo de Educación Primaria de la capital de Granada, recogiendo los datos a través de tres cuestionarios: PAQ-C, para medir la práctica de AF; KIDMED para medir la adherencia a la DM y FAS III para determinar el nivel socioeconómico familiar. Resultados: el 80% de la muestra necesita mejorar su alimentación, ya que solo dos de cada diez niños presenta una alta adherencia a la DM, obteniendo puntuaciones ligeramente más altas el grupo masculino. Los niños practicaron más AF que las niñas. Por otro lado, se reveló que la condición socioeconómica es un factor influyente en la práctica de la AF, siendo el NSE bajo el grupo más desfavorecido en este parámetro. Por último correlacionó positivamente la práctica de AF con la adherencia a la DM y el nivel socioeconómico. Conclusión: se denota la importancia de fomentar y mejorar tanto la práctica de AF como la adherencia al patrón dietético Mediterráneo, desde edades tempranas. Resulta de vital importancia la creación de programas de intervención que fomenten la adquisición de hábitos saludables y busquen el equilibrio entre las desigualdades socioeconómicas del alumnado. Abstract. A number of transitions occur during early adolescence that make the acquisition of healthy lifestyles transcendental for decreasing the onset of noncommunicable diseases. Objective: to analyse the relationship between the physical activity engagement (PA), Mediterranean diet adherence (MD) and socioeconomic status (SES).Material and methods: a cross-sectional research study was conducted involving 112 schoolchildren enrolled on the third year of primary education in Granada. Data was collected data through three questionnaires. The PAQ-C estimated physical activity engagement, the KIDMED estimated Mediterranean diet adherence and the FAS III determined family socioeconomic status. Results: 80% of participants need to improve their diet as only one fifth of participating children presented high Mediterranean diet adherence. Slightly higher scores were obtained in the male group, with males also engaging in more physical activity than females. Further, it was revealed that socioeconomic status is an influential factor in relation to physical activity engagement, with those with the lowest socioeconomic status having the least favourable indices for this parameter. Finally, physical activity engagement was positively correlated with Mediterranean diet adherence and socioeconomic status. Conclusion: present research highlights the importance of promoting and improving both PA engagement and adherence to Mediterranean dietary patterns from an early age. The development of intervention programmes that promote the acquisition of healthy habits and seek a balance between the socio-economic inequalities among students.
