“…The main effects of selection based on physical activity suggest that physically active youth have more friends and are nominated by more peers than less physically active youth. This pattern is consistent with previous research suggesting that popularity is associated with physical activity (Ommundsen et al., ), being an athlete in a jock crowd (Brown & Larson, ), and weight maintenance behaviors (Rancourt & Prinstein, ). The interactions suggest that physical activity was less important for friendship selection when choosing popular peers.…”

Specifically, Bart et al.…”

“…It is thus plausible that adolescents who choose to spend time in physical activity also increase their social capital and prestige in their peer group. A causal association, where physical activity predicts later social position, was found in a study among Norwegian fourth graders, whose participation in physical activity and motor functioning at early school age predicted later social standing among class peers [48]. The health-giving and aesthetic functions related to sport are combined with social functions and they become a technique of sociability, reinforcing each other [31].…”
