“…Physical activity patterns track from childhood into adolescence and from adolescence into young adulthood . It is thus concerning that English girls' participation in the nation's most common activities, namely swimming, soccer, and cycling, appears to decline so dramatically during the teenage years; the fact that the same is not observed in boys would suggest that cultural factors rather than environmental factors, such as access to facilities, may be to blame.…”

“…Physical activity (PA) also improves lipid levels, reduces CVD risk and supports weight loss maintenance. However, PA participation wanes in adolescence ( 9 , 10 ). At age 18, daily step counts of 8,000 – 9,000 steps/day at a moderate cadence of >87 steps per minute have been reported in adolescents of healthful weight ( 11 , 12 ).…”

Objective: To test the hypothesis that Physical Activity (PA) improves cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related lipids beyond that associated with weight loss in adolescents with severe obesity, post-metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). Methods: We used objective StepWatch™ PA data from 108 participants of the Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) study from baseline to 3 years post-MBS. Primary outcomes included absolute change in low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and non-high density lipoprotein (non-HDL-C) from baseline. We adjusted for baseline measurement, visit, surgical procedure, and percent change in iliac waist circumference (IWC) or body mass index (BMI) from baseline in linear regression models using generalized estimating equations. PROC TRAJ in SAS generated optimal activity trajectories based on individual step count. Results: Despite low step counts and slow cadence, differences by activity trajectory were found. Greater absolute decreases in LDL-C and non-HDL-C (−15 mg/dL [95% CI: (−28, −2)], p =0.026 and −15 mg/dL [95% CI: (−28, −1)], p = 0.035), respectively, were associated with more activity (MA). MA was associated with greater resolution of triglycerides, LDL-C and non-HDL-C dyslipidemia and with greater weight loss 3 years post-MBS. Conclusion: More activity in adolescents was associated with improvements in CVD-related lipid measures and weight loss, post-MBS.

“…Research that aims to understand involvement in physical activity, and reduction in physical activity during adolescence in particular (7–9), indicates that involvement in physical activity is an expression of complex and dynamic factors in, and between, individuals and the environment (10–12). According to research showing that physical activity habits in early childhood and adolescence appear to influence physical activity habits later in life (13–15), it is crucial to understand the relational interplay between significant activity promotive factors in this cohort. Individual eagerness for physical activity (16), received parental support (17), and perceived athletic competence (18) have been demonstrated to contribute to human functioning and health.…”

This study investigated the association between perceived parental support and eagerness for physical activity (EPA) among adolescents, and the association between EPA and physical activity. We further examined whether perceived athletic competence (PAC) mediates a presumed association between EPA and physical activity level, when controlling for gender. This study included 320 adolescents (aged 12–13) from 18 schools in two medium-sized Norwegian municipalities. Questionnaires and accelerometers were assessed during spring 2017. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the associations. Standard regression coefficients are presented. Data demonstrated that perceived parental support was positively associated with EPA (β = 0.52), and eagerness was positively associated with PAC (β = 0.52). Both EPA (β = 0.20) and PAC (β = 0.24) were also positively associated with moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). When mediating the relationship between EPA and MVPA, through PAC, the effect on MVPA increased (from β = 0.20 to β = 0.32). Analysis revealed that 87% of the adolescents fulfilled the national health recommendations for physical activity. This study highlights the relevance of EPA and PAC in studies of physical activity among adolescents, and the impact of perceived parental support for adolescents' EPA and physical activity level.
