  • Longitudinal associations between team Sport Participation and substance use in adolescents and young adults
    Addictive behaviors, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ross M Murray, Catherine M. Sabiston, Isabelle Doré, Mathieu Bélanger, Jennifer O'loughlin
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Team Sport Participation contributes to positive outcomes, including increased physical activity, better mental health, and enhanced social engagement. However, longitudinal studies show that team Sport Participation during adolescence is also associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits, including harmful substance use behaviors. Our objectives were to examine these associations in an adolescent sample, assess differences between sexes, examine the association by Sport type, and investigate whether associations carry into young adulthood. Method Over five years of high school participants reported team Sport Participation, smoking status, and frequency of alcohol use, three years post-high school participants reported the same behaviors as well as marijuana use. Results Regression analyses accounting for individual clustering revealed that Participation in team Sport during high school was associated with an increased likelihood of current smoking in males and more frequent drinking in both sexes during adolescence. These relationships were strongest in individuals who participated in football. Further analyses revealed that team Sport Participation in high school was associated with an increased likelihood of more frequent binge drinking in young adulthood; however, team Sport Participation in young adulthood was associated with a decrease in the likelihood of cigarette smoking and marijuana use in young adulthood. Conclusion Overall, results confirm that team Sport Participation in adolescence is positively associated with substance use in adolescence, and this association differs by sex. However, team Sport Participation in young adulthood is negatively associated with harmful substance use. Further research is needed to understand if these trends generalize beyond White adolescents and young adults.

  • Number of Years of Team and Individual Sport Participation During Adolescence and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adulthood
    Journal of sport & exercise psychology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Catherine M. Sabiston, Mathieu Bélanger, Rachel Jewett, Garcia Ashdown-franks, Jennifer Brunet, Erin K. O'loughlin, Jennifer O'loughlin
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal and unique association between number of years of team Sport and individual Sport Participation during adolescence and depressive symptoms during early adulthood. Adolescents (n = 860) reported team Sport and individual Sport Participation in each year of secondary school for five years. Participants reported depressive symptoms using the Major Depression Inventory three years after secondary school. Multivariate linear regression was performed to model the associations of Sport Participation with depressive symptoms while controlling for sex, age, parent education, and baseline depressive symptoms. In the final model, adolescents who consistently participated in team Sport during high school reported lower depression scores in early adulthood (β = -.09, p = .02). Number of years of individual Sport Participation was not statistically significantly associated with depressive symptoms in early adulthood. Based on these findings, team Sport Participation may protect against depressive symptoms in early adulthood. If this finding is replicated, strategies should be implemented to encourage and maintain team Sport Participation during adolescence. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms that link team Sport Participation to lower depression.

  • Sport Participation in high school and anxiety symptoms in young adulthood
    Mental Health and Physical Activity, 2017
    Co-Authors: Garcia Ashdownfranks, Catherine M. Sabiston, Shauna Solomonkrakus, Jennifer Oloughlin
    Abstract:

    Abstract The longitudinal associations between Sport Participation and symptoms of four anxiety sub-types (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social phobia, agoraphobia) were assessed. Participants (n = 781; 45% male; Mage = 20.34 ± 0.71 years) provided data on Sport Participation over five years of high school and measures of anxiety three years post high school. Sport Participation was analyzed both as the total number of years playing Sports over five years and the number of years playing team or individual Sports. In logistic regression analyses, number of years playing Sports was associated with fewer panic disorder and agoraphobia symptoms in young adulthood. Further, number of years playing team Sports was associated with fewer symptoms of panic and agoraphobia, while number of years playing individual Sports was associated with fewer social phobia symptoms. The results suggest that consistent involvement in Sport during high school is beneficial for mental health. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the importance of studying each anxiety symptom subtype as a unique outcome.

  • Gender and Disability Sport Participation: Setting a Sociological Research Agenda
    Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 1997
    Co-Authors: Tarja Kolkka, Trevor Williams
    Abstract:

    The aim of this paper is to introduce a sociological research agenda on gender in the context of disability Sport Participation. This is done in three parts. In the first part, there is an examination of the differences between the biological and social conceptions of “sex/gender” and “impairment/disability.” In the second part, we offer a critique of the research on gender and disability Sport. The point is made that there has been very little consideration of how gender structures the experiences of disability Sport Participation. There is a need for a more sophisticated theoretical foundation, different theoretical perspectives, and different approaches, and for alternative research designs to increase our knowledge about gender, disability, and Sport Participation. These are offered, in the third part, in a suggested sociological research agenda focusing on socialization and gender roles, social differentiation and stratification, and life chances.

  • variation in Sport Participation fitness and motor coordination with socioeconomic status among flemish children
    Pediatric Exercise Science, 2012
    Co-Authors: Joric Vandendriessche, Roel Vaeyens, Matthieu Lenoir, Barbara Vandorpe, Johan Lefevre, Robert M. Malina, Renaat Philippaerts
    Abstract:

    Socioeconomic status (SES) is often indicated as a factor that influences physical activity and associated health outcomes. This study examined the relationship between SES and Sport Participation, morphology, fitness and motor coordination in a sample of 1955 Flemish children 6-11 years of age. Gender, age and SES-specific values for morphologic dimensions, amount and type of Sport Participation and fitness and motor coordination tests were compared. SES was positively and significantly associated with Sport Participation and Sports club membership in both sexes. Although differences were not consistently significant, morphologic dimensions and tests of fitness and motor coordination showed a trend in favor of children from higher SES. The results suggest that public and local authorities should consider providing equal opportunities for children in all social strata and especially those in the lower SES to experience the beneficial effects of Sport Participation through which they can enhance levels of physical fitness and motor coordination.

  • A growth curve to model changes in Sport Participation in adolescent boys.
    Scandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports, 2009
    Co-Authors: José Maia, Johan Lefevre, Albrecht Claessens, Martine Thomis, Maarten Peeters, Gaston Beunen
    Abstract:

    The aims of this study are twofold: (1) to present the latent growth model, its strategy and usefulness in modelling Sport Participation over a 6-year period in youngsters (2) and to study the impact of biological maturation in Sport Participation changes. A standardized Sport Participation questionnaire using h/week/year as the unit of analysis was applied to 588 Belgium boys 13-18 years of age followed longitudinally for 6 years. Skeletal age was used to estimate biological maturation. Growth curve modelling with robust estimation was used. Sport Participation changes showed a curvilinear trend: baseline values (3.18+/-0.13 h/week/year), a linear trend that indicates the rate of change (0.70+/-0.11) and a quadratic trend indicating deceleration, i.e. a change in the rate of change (-0.07+/-0.02) were all statistically significant (P

  • A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF YOUTH Sport Participation AND ADHERENCE TO Sport IN ADULTHOOD
    International Review for the Sociology of Sport, 1997
    Co-Authors: Bart Vanreusel, Johan Lefevre, Albrecht Claessens, Gaston Beunen, Roland Renson, Roeland Lysens, Bart Vanden Eynde
    Abstract:

    Youth Sport programmes are often legitimized on their assumed contribution to continued Sport involvement in adulthood. A longitudinal analysis was made of the Sport involvement pattern of a sample (N = 236) of male subjects from 13 to 35 years of age, from a perspective of continued socialization into Sport. The results of the quantitative analysis show that the continuation of Sport Participation from youth into adulthood is different according to the type of youth Sport career. Tracking of Sport Participation patterns is moderate to high during youth, and low to moderate from youth to adulthood. Methodological issues are raised. It is concluded that youth Sport programmes should be critically examined with regard to their contribution to continued Sport Participation in adulthood.
