“…Although this is a clear gap in the literature, recent national cross-sectional studies in the US have begun to analyse social and health-related outcomes among participants and the type of sport they play (Denham, 2011(Denham, , 2014Ford, 2007;Kreager, 2007;Sokol-Katz et al, 2006;Veliz et al, 2013aVeliz et al, , 2013bVeliz et al, , 2015. For instance, Denham (2011) found that adolescents who participate in baseball, football, and weightlifting have higher levels of alcohol consumption than their peers.…”

The objective of this analysis is to examine how participation in different types of competitive sports (based on level of contact) during high school is associated with substance use 1 to 4 years after the 12th grade. The analysis uses nationally representative samples of 12th graders from the Monitoring the Future Study who were followed 1 to 4 years after the 12th grade. The longitudinal sample consisted of 970 12th graders from six recent cohorts (2006–2011). The analyses found that respondents who participated in at least one competitive sport during the 12th grade had greater odds of binge drinking during the past two weeks (AOR = 2.04; 95% CI = 1.43, 2.90) 1 to 4 years after the 12th grade, when compared to their peers who did not participate in sports during their 12th grade year. Moreover, respondents who participated in high-contact sports (i.e., football, ice hockey, lacrosse, and wrestling) had greater odds of binge drinking (AOR = 1.80; 95% CI = 1.18, 2.72) and engaging in marijuana use during the past 30 days (AOR = 1.81; 95% CI = 1.12, 2.93) 1 to 4 years after the 12th grade when compared to their peers who did not participate in these types of sports during their 12th grade year. Accordingly, the findings indicate important distinctions in sport participation experiences on long-term substance use risk that can help inform potential interventions among young athletes.

“…These findings give insight to understanding the relationship between sports participation and substance use, but most quantitative studies assessing the relationship between sports participation and substance use overlook the vast array of different sporting contexts that can produce divergent experiences and outcomes. Only recently have quantitative studies began to analyze social and health related outcomes among participants and the type of sport they play (Denham, 2011; Ford, 2007; Kreager, 2007; Sokol-Katz et al, 2006) For instance, Denham (2011) found that adolescents who participated in baseball, football, and weightlifting had higher levels of alcohol consumption when compared to their peers. Denham suggests that the higher propensity to consume alcohol among these participants is that their respective sport involves more anaerobic effort (short bursts of strength), which may cultivate a belief that their athletic performance will not be stifled by alcohol consumption.…”

Substance Use & Misuse

Background The empirical research examining the impact of sports participation on alcohol and other drug use has produced mixed results. Part of this problem may be the result of how different types of sports participation create different experiences that shape certain types of behaviors that either facilitate or deter substance use. Objectives We examined the association between different types of competitive sports participation and substance use among a nationally representative sample of adolescents. Methods Two recent cross-sections from the Monitoring the Future were merged to capture a large subsection of adolescents who participate in either high-contact sports (football, wrestling, hockey and lacrosse), semi-contact sports (baseball, basketball, field hockey and soccer), and non-contact sports (cross-country, gymnastics, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball). Results Multivariate analyses revealed that adolescents who participated in high-contact sports had higher odds of using substances during the past 30 days and initiating substance use at early ages. Further, adolescents who participated in non-contact sports had lower odds to indicate smoking cigarettes and marijuana during the past 30 days. Conclusions Parents, educators, and policy makers need to consider that some sporting contexts may be a catalyst to engage in risky behaviors like substance use.

“…Research on sports and delinquency suggests that this relationship is complex and may reflect a variety of factors in addition to social control (Sokol-Katz, Kelley, Basinger-Fleischman, & Braddock, 2006), including students’ identities. Among high school athletes, alcohol use is frequently an integral component of peer culture and perceived as central to the role of athlete-student (Grossbard et al, 2009; K.…”

Crime & Delinquency

This article extends prior research on routine activities and youth deviance by focusing on a broader range of routine activity patterns (RAPs) and on how their effects are conditioned by bonds to society and peer context. As hypothesized, the RAPs with the most consistent effects on delinquency were those lowest, or highest, in both structure and visibility. However, the relationship between school-related activities and delinquency was complex and varied across levels of the moderators in unexpected ways, given the structure and visibility of this RAP. Other RAPs, including unstructured peer interaction, affected delinquency independent of adolescents’ social relations, suggesting that neither social bonding nor external social control, via peer group norms, shapes the effects of situationally based opportunities for deviance on adolescents’ behaviors in a consistent manner.
