“…It is rational to believe that this support influences behaviors related to sports participation in adulthood. Our findings are also similar to Howie, McVeigh, Smith, Straker 26 , who reveal that teasing among girls, body image, feeling that sports are not feminine coupled with the stereotypes of sex roles in society, increases the participation of boys and the reduces the participation girls in sports or physical activity from an early age 26 . In our study, lower levels of education were associated with non-sports participation throughout life.…”

-Aims:The promotion of sports participation during the early years of life is important not only because it promotes health during childhood and adolescence, but also because it has benefits in adulthood. This study was developed to identify the association between sports participation during the early years of life and adulthood, to analyze the non-participation in sports throughout life and to identify the correlates of non-participation in sports. DESIGN:Cross-sectional study. Methods: The sample was composed of 743 adults randomly selected in a medium-size Brazilian city. Non-participation in sports during childhood and adolescence was assessed through specific questions, and nonparticipation in sports in adulthood was assessed using the second section of Baecke questionnaire. Answering "no" in the three periods assessed (childhood, adolescence and adulthood) was characterized as non-participation in sports throughout life. Chronological age, sex, formal education, BMI, current job and ethnicity were considered covariates.Categorical data were expressed as rates and compared using chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Results:The prevalence of adults not engaged in sports throughout life was 58.5% (95% CI= 55.1 -62.1). Females (OR = 2.41

“…In Japanese children [27], the rate of participation in organized sports similarly decreased from 100% in 2002 to 79.4% in 2014, causing a decrease in the average number of members in sports clubs (26.7 members per club in 2002 and 21.8 in 2014). Howie et al [28] reported that one-third of girls and boys after the age of 8 years in Western Australia dropped out of playing sports. For example, lower household income, main language spoken at home (non-English), lower parental education and child not taken to a sporting event were predictors of dropout from organized sports [29].…”

BackgroundMusculoskeletal pain (MSP) is a commonly reported symptom in youth sports players. Some sports-related risk factors have been reported, but previous studies on extrinsic risk factors did not focus on management of team members (e.g., regular or non-regular players, number of players) for reducing sports-related MSP. This study aimed to examine the association of playing status (regular or non-regular players) and team status (fewer or more teammates) with MSP in youth team sports.MethodsA total of 632 team sports players (age: 12–18 years) in public schools in Unnan, Japan completed a self-administered questionnaire to determine MSP (overall, upper limbs, lower back, and lower limbs) and playing status (regular or non-regular players). Team status was calculated as follows: teammate quantity index (TQI) = [number of teammates in their grade]/[required number of players for the sport]. Associations between the prevalence of pain and joint categories of playing and team status were examined by multivariable-adjusted Poisson regression.ResultsA total of 272 (44.3%) participants had MSP at least several times a week in at least one part of the body. When divided by playing or team status, 140 (47.0%) regular and 130 (41.7%) non-regular players had MSP, whereas 142 (47.0%) players with fewer teammates (lower TQI) and 127 (41.8%) players with more teammates (higher TQI) had MSP. When analyzed jointly, regular players with fewer teammates had a higher prevalence of lower back pain compared with non-regular players with more teammates (21.3% vs 8.3%; prevalence ratio = 2.08 [95% confidence interval 1.07–4.02]). The prevalence of MSP was highest in regular players with fewer teammates for all other pain outcomes, but this was not significant.ConclusionRegular players with fewer teammates have a higher risk of lower back pain. Future longitudinal investigations are required.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12891-017-1470-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…As the level of competition in organized sports leagues increase, those who do not desire to compete at a higher level may simply drop out of sports. 31 A study indicated that girls who do not become involved at a young age (,8 years) will likely not become involved as they get older, but boys may join sports in adolescence, even if they are not involved earlier. 31 Because some health benefits are seen with any organized sports participation, community offerings for girls and boys at multiple levels of competition could support greater participation.…”

Organized Sports for Children, Preadolescents, and Adolescents

Interest and participation in organized sports for children, preadolescents, and adolescents continue to grow. Because of increased participation, and younger entry age, in organized sports, appropriate practice, game schedules, and content become more important, taking into account athlete developmental stage and skills. Parental support for organized sports in general, with focus on development and fun instead of winning, has emerged as a key factor in the athlete’s enjoyment of sports. Schools and community sports organizations who support multiple levels of sport (eg, recreational, competitive, elite) can include more youth who want to play sports and combat sport dropout. This report reviews the benefits and risks of organized sports as well as the roles of schools, community organizations, parents, and coaches in organized sports. It is designed to complement the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical reports “Physical Activity Assessment and Counseling in Pediatric Clinical Settings” and “Sports Specialization and Intensive Training in Young Athletes” by reviewing relevant literature on healthy organized sports for youth and providing guidance on organized sport readiness and entry. The report also provides guidance for pediatricians on counseling parents and advocating for healthy organized sports participation.
