“…Examining the mechanisms by which parents and friends influence children's PA levels is especially important, as evidence suggests that there is a significant decline in these two sources of support from year 7 and year 9 [15] and low social support for PA in early adolescence appears to be tracking into later adolescence [16]. …”

“…Interestingly, while a number of studies examined parental and friends' influences on children' PA, these studies obtained information either from parents only [17, 18, 22, 23] or from children only [15, 16, 24–27], with no studies obtaining information from both parents and children. By administering instruments measuring the same constructs to both children and parents, researchers can investigate whether parents and children perceive parental practices in different ways, and how these perceptions correlate with PA behavior [28].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural validity of a parent and a child questionnaire that assessed parental and friends' influences on children's physical activity and investigate the associations between the derived factors, physical activity, and time spent outside. Children (N = 154, mean age = 11.7) and 144 of their parents completed questionnaires assessing parental and friends' influences on children's physical activity. Children wore a pedometer for six days. Exploratory factor analyses revealed four factors for the parental and five for the child's questionnaire that explained 66.71% and 63.85% of the variance, respectively. Five factors were significantly associated with physical activity and five significantly associated with time spent outside. Higher correlations were revealed between “general friend support,” “friends' activity norms,” and physical activity (r = 0.343 and 0.333 resp., p < 0.001) and between “general friend support” and time spent outside (r = 0.460, p < 0.001). Obtaining information relating to parental and friends' influences on physical activity from both parents and children may provide a more complete picture of influences. Parents and friends seem to influence children's physical activity behavior and time spent outside, but friends' influences may have a stronger impact on children's behaviors.

“…Girls mature earlier than boys which might partly explain the observed gender related differences in OS participation [27]. Moreover, girls might receive less social support from their parents and peers to do sports and exercise than boys [28, 29] which might lead to higher OS dropout and nonparticipation rates. A higher OS decline and dropout among girls compared to boys was also observed in other studies [9, 30].…”

Determinants of organised sports participation patterns during the transition from childhood to adolescence in Germany: results of a nationwide cohort study

et al. 2016

BackgroundOrganised sports (OS) participation is an important health behaviour but it seems to decline from childhood to adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate OS participation patterns from childhood to adolescence and potential determinants for those patterns.MethodsData from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) cohort study with a 6 year follow-up period were used (KiGGS0: 2003-06, KiGGS1: 2009-12). Participants aged 6–10 years at KiGGS0, who were aged 12–16 at KiGGS1, were included (n = 3790). The outcome variable was ‘OS participation’ between KiGGS0 and KiGGS1 with the categories ‘maintenance’ (reference), ‘dropout’, ‘commencement’ and ‘nonparticipation’. Relative risk ratios (RRRs) were calculated using multinomial logistic regression to identify potential predictors for OS patterns. Socio-demographic, family-related, health-related, behavioural and environmental factors were considered as independent variables.Results48.5 % maintained OS, 20.5 % dropped out, 12.3 % commenced OS between KiGGS0 and KiGGS1 and 18.7 % did not participate at both times. The RRRs for dropout rather than maintenance were 0.6 (95 % Cl 0.5–0.7) for boys versus girls, 1.5 (1.3–1.9) for the age group 8–10 versus 6–7 years, 0.7 (0.5–0.9) for high versus intermediate parental education, 1.4 (1.1–1.8) for low versus middle household income, 1.4 (1.0–1.8) for below-average versus average motor fitness. The RRRs for commencement rather than maintenance were 0.6 (0.5–0.8) for boys versus girls, 0.6 (0.5–0.8) for the age group 8–10 versus 6–7 years, 1.5 (1.1–2.1) for low versus intermediate parental education, 1.5 (1.1–2.0) for low versus middle household income, 0.7 (0.5–1.0) for no single-parent versus single parent family, 1.8 (1.3–2.5) for below-average and 0.6 (0.4–0.8) for above-average versus average motor fitness, and 1.4 (1.1–1.9) for high versus middle screen-based media use. The RRRs for abstinence rather than maintenance were 0.6 (0.4–0.7) for boys versus girls, 1.5 (1.1–2.0) for low versus intermediate parental education, 2.2 (1.7–2.8) for low and 0.6 (0.5–0.8) for high versus middle household income, 1.6 (1.2–2.1) for psychopathological problems versus no problems, 1.7 (1.3–2.2) for below-average and 0.4 (0.3–0.6) for above-average versus average motor fitness, and 1.6 (1.0–2.6) for rural versus metropolitan residential area.ConclusionsOS participation rates among all children living in Germany need to be improved. More tailored offerings are needed which consider the preferences and interests of adolescents as well as a cooperation between public health actors to reduce barriers to OS.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-016-3615-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…While Strong et al (2005) emphasizes the supportive nature of an active lifestyle in society, Eime et al (2015) underlines the significance of composing an effective and widespread sports environment for this aim, which can be said to refer to the mental preparation phase. However, in the name of the popularization of modern sports understanding, it is essential to promote a strong physical background, and an extensive and accessible facility network.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the perceptions of modern sports of the students studying at the departments of physical education and sports in Turkey, and to examine them based on different variables such as age, gender, department, grade, academic gross domestic product (GPA) and the habit of actively doing sports. In terms of the data analysis process, the descriptive statistics were presented with the values of frequency, percentage, average and standard deviation. In order to determine the differences in the group average of the population, the researcher made use of one sample t-test. To compare three-phase groups, variance analysis (ANOVA) was conducted and the Sidak post hoc test was used for paired comparisons. The analysis was conducted using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 21.0 packet program. The Cronbach Alpha analysis was also used to test the reliability of the three statements about modern sports in the survey. Following the validity and reliability studies conducted by Özer, the Cronbach Alpha was measured as 0.75 while specifically for the current study the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was found to be 0.80. In a review of the study findings, no statistically meaningful differences between the participant students' age, gender and active sports participation variables and the socio-economic, political and educational sub dimensions of the scale were found. On the other hand, there were differences found between students' departments, classes and grade point averages and the sub dimensions of the scale. The study results revealed that to improve perceptions of modern sports in Turkey, socio-economic, political and educational factors must be considered. In this sense, the need for new revisions has arisen considering the socio-economic, politic and educational issues all together.

Socioecological factors potentially associated with participation in physical activity and sport: A longitudinal study of adolescent girls

Abstract: Significant patterns of change in the determinants of physical activity participation were observed across the adolescent period. It is important to consider flexible structure and scheduling of physical activity and strategies to develop competency in childhood and early adolescence.
