“…Public health endeavours at developing and implementing quality interventions at population level to thwart physical inactivity among youth -especially in the framework of childhood obesity and its co-morbidities -are underway in several regions of the world (Hill 2004;Neira & de Onis 2005;Hercberg 2006). For example, in France the launch by the French Ministry of Health of the French strategy for nutrition, PA and the prevention of obesity in 2002 (Hercberg 2006;Recours et al 2011) appears as a milestone in the fight against physical inactivity and its related diseases. However, due to a number of political, cultural (Recours et al 2011) and even some philosophical reasons , this ambitious programme does not seem to work in young people as it was intended to (Recours et al 2011).…”

Aim To examine: (i) if maturity‐related gender differences in moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) depend on how maturity status is defined and measured; and (ii) the influence of maturity level on compliance with PA recommendations. Methods The study involved 253 children (139 boys) aged 9.9 ± 0.9 years, with mean stature and weight of 1.39 ± 0.08 m and 35.8 ± 8.8 kg respectively. Their PA was evaluated using an Actigraph accelerometer (Model 7164). Maturity was assessed using the estimated age at peak height velocity (APHV) and a standardized APHV by gender (i.e. centred APHV). Results Boys engaged in significantly more MVPA than girls (P < 0.0001). There was a significant correlation between the centred APHV and MVPA in boys (r = 0.20; P = 0.016), but not in girls (r = 0.13; P = 0.155). An ancova controlling for the estimated APHV showed no significant interactions between gender and APHV, and the main effect of gender on MVPA was negated. Conversely, there was a significant main effect of APHV on MVPA (F 1,249 = 6.12; P = 0.014; η p 2 = 0.024). Only 9.1% of children met the PA recommendations, including 14.4% of boys and 2.6% of girls (P < 0.01). This observation also applies in both pre‐APHV (12.7% of boys vs. 2.4% of girls, P < 0.001) and post‐APHV children (23.8% of boys vs. 3.4% of girls, P < 0.0001). No differences in PA guidelines were observed between pre‐APHV and post‐APHV children. Conclusions Among prepubescent children, the influence of biological maturity on gender differences in PA may be a function of how maturity status is determined. The most physically active prepubescent children were those who were on time according to APHV.

“…[4] Studies have shown that individuals' health information is effective on their behaviors. In other words, one of the essential elements for the prevention of non communicable diseases and the promotion of health is increasing the public knowledge concerning relevant issues[567] as well as the elimination of individuals' poverty of the awareness, related to health and prevention of non communicable diseases such as cancer. [8] Other research results suggest that awareness, beliefs and proper nutrition behaviors can affect health and reduce the effects of diseases.…”

Sport participation in adolescence helps to reach the recommended levels of physical activity and predicts participation during adulthood. Few cross-cultural studies compare contexts of sport participation and their relation with sport participation rates. In Europe, Austria and France are two countries that differ in their economic situation and sport policy structure. The main objective of this study was to compare sport participation rates and sport contexts (unorganized/organized sport) in Austria and France, by sex and SES.Two data collections were conducted during spring 2015 in Austria and France among high-school students. Logistic regressions were used to compare the sport participation rates of Austrian and French students by sex, SES and context of participation. The Austrian adolescents had higher sport participation rates than the French adolescents but were less likely to participate in organized sport compared with the French (OR= 0.64, 95% CI= 0.52-0.78). The Austrian students were more likely to participate in unorganized sport (OR= 3.46,. The large participation difference between the two countries was also caused by the higher unorganized sport practice of low-SES Austrian adolescents, especially by low-SES girls. This indicates that, next to organized sport, unorganized practice can help to enhance adolescent participation and to balance existing social and gender inequalities.
