“…In three studies, a non-significant relationship was found in at least one age cohort in female participants [27,43,44]. A significant relationship between adolescent and adult physical activity has also been confirmed by retrospective studies [45][46][47][48]. Among men, the long-term stability of physical activity from adolescence to adulthood seems to be low but significant.…”

The aim of the article was to review studies on the tracking of physical activity in all phases of life from childhood to late adulthood. The majority of the studies have been published since 2000. The follow-up time in most studies was short, the median being 9 years. In men, the stability of physical activity was significant but low or moderate during all life phases and also in longterm follow-ups. In women, the tracking was lower and in many cases non-significant. Among both sexes, stability seems to be lower in early childhood than in adolescence or in adulthood and lower in transitional phases, such as from childhood to adolescence or from adolescence to adulthood, than in adulthood. However, the differences in the stability of physical activity between age groups and between different phases of life were small. The number of tracking studies utilising objective methods to measure physical activity was so small that systematic differences in stability between self-report and objective methods could not be determined. A factor which caused differences in tracking results was the adjustment of correlations for measurement error and other error variance. Adjusted coefficients were clearly higher than unadjusted ones. However, adjustment was done only in very few studies. If the different methods used for estimating habitual physical activity and the failure to control for important covariates in studies of tracking are taken into account, physical activity appears to track reasonably well also in the longer term, for example from adolescence to adulthood. The results of the tracking studies support the idea that the enhancement of physical activity in children and adolescents is of great importance for the promotion of public health.

“…Analizar este tipo de aspectos durante la adolescencia obedece a la consideración de ésta como una etapa crítica en la que se desarrollan hábitos que pueden ser mantenidos a lo largo de toda la vida y, por lo tanto, objeto de mecanismos y estrategias de promoción de conductas asociadas a estilos de vida saludables. Aunque la evidencia empírica sobre el desarrollo de hábi-tos a lo largo de la vida es escaso, diversas investigaciones apuntan a que éste podría ser el caso en el ámbito del desarrollo de hábitos de actividad físico-deportiva (Curtis, McTeer y White, 1999;Hirvensalo, Lintunen y Rantanen, 2000). Por lo tanto, conocer la práctica físico-deportiva de los adolescentes y sus característi-cas, será fundamental para la toma de decisiones con respecto a la promoción de estilos de vida saludables que incluyan la práctica de este 32 IGOR ESNAOLA Y LORENA REVUELTA / ACCIÓN PSICOLÓGICA, julio 2009, vol.…”

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar las relaciones entre el autoconcepto físico, las expectativas de éxito, el valor percibido y la di-ficultad percibida de la actividad física. La muestra se compone de 300 adolescentes entre los 12 y 24 años, con una media de 18.64 años. Los resultados indican que las personas activas (los que practican alguna actividad física más de dos días a la semana) se perciben mejor que las personas inactivas en la habilidad física, condi-ción física, fuerza, autoconcepto físico general y autoconcepto general, teniendo además mejo-res expectativas de éxito en las actividades físi-cas. Asimismo, se han encontrado correlacio-nes significativas entre las escalas; es decir, las personas que se perciben bien en el autocon-cepto general, el autoconcepto físico y los sub-dominios específicos, tienen un valor percibido de la actividad física alta, tienen una expectativa o rendimiento esperado positivo y perciben con menor dificultad la actividad física. Finalmente, en cuanto a las diferencias entre sexos, los va-rones se perciben mejor que las mujeres en el autoconcepto físico y sus dominios específicos, valoran más positivamente y perciben con me-nor dificultad las actividades físicas, y tienen unas expectativas de éxito más elevadas para las futuras actividades físicas. Abstract The aim of this study has been to analyze the relations among the physical self-concept, the expectations of success, the perceived value and the difficulty perceived of the physical activity. The sample consists of 300 teenagers between 12 and 24 years, with an average of 18.64 years. The results indicate that the active people (those who practise some physical activity more than two days a week) have better perceptions than the inactive people in the physical ability, physical condition, strength, general physical self-concept and general self-concept, having in addition better expectations of success in the physical activities. Likewise, we have found significant correlations among the scales; it is to say, people who are perceived well in the general , physical self-concept and the specific sub-domains, have a high perceived value of the physical activity, have an expectation of success and perceive with minor difficulty the physical activity. Finally, as for the differences between gender, we have found differences in favour of males in physical ability, physical condition , physical attractive, strength, physical self-concept, general self-concept, perceived value , perceived difficulty, and expectation of success .

“…Personal experiences of practice of sport in period of school education result in involvement in sport at later periods of life [40] [41]. E. Kozdroń and P. Szczypiorski [42] declare that the hardest thing is to encourage physical activity in the elderly that were inactive earlier in life; but when physical activity becomes their way of life, they rarely give up on it.…”

A significant increase in sports-leisure activity events in recent years presents the opportunity to compete in all age categories. Among the many sport varieties, special attention ought to be paid to amateur sports-recreational sports, particularly in the context of the increasing leisure time among the elderly. Recreational sports activities are free of many distortions and defects of the modern professional sport. Recreational sports are egalitarian, not exclusive. The health paradigm is always at the heart of it, along with a strong emphasis on hedonism. Sport activities reveal self-fulfillment as the highest needs, giving fulfillment and satisfaction. The ease in the selection of a sports goal makes the amateur sports an important tool for the shaping of persons' life and health. A sports goal, which is participating in sports events, provides a strong motivation for systematic work. Striving for transgression is a source of strong emotions and satisfaction. Struggling with a persons' own body, with old age, may be a valuable challenge that would positively impact wellbeing in the psychosocial aspect. This study shows a social phenomenon of sports activity among the elderly, dynamically growing in Poland. It also presents multiple benefits for the general wellbeing as well as the potential threats which a lack of distance to the sports rivalry may cause when it crosses the line behind which a persistent pursuit of the purpose (sport result) may end up in health damage. The line between recreation and sport is thin and difficult to distinguish. Animators, trainers, and instructors need to skillfully manage the interests of older people so that their involvement in physical activity determines a safe and healthy lifestyle.
