“…Family sport culture has a consistent and enduring effect on young people participating in sports. 26 In spite of the coaches’ proximal environment, Berntsen and Kristiansen 27 found that controlling behavior by coaches can decrease motivation in athletes. Thus, the influence of teammates’ support on student-athletes requires empirical evidence to link the relationship between social support and positive emotions.…”

Student-athletes may have high stress, and the level of their subjective well-being could be low due to the dual role of being a student and an athlete. In the field of sport psychology, social support has received focal attention to identifying its impact on individuals’ subjective well-being. However, there is a lack of research that focuses on teammate support and subjective well-being. Thus, this study examined how the perception of teammate support influences subjective well-being through positive emotions based on the environmental psychology model and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions. This study collected 313 responses from university student-athletes in Singapore and conducted a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis. Results showed that perceived teammate support had a positive influence on subjective well-being through positive emotion. Also, there was a direct effect of perceived teammate support on subjective well-being. The results support the critical role of perceived teammate support in enhancing the student-athletes’ subjective well-being. The findings of this study are beneficial for coaches and student-leaders to design strategies to improve the subjective well-being of student-athletes.

“…In this study, we examine how American adults' attitudes about youth sport participation are associated with their political beliefs including sports related patriotic sentiment, and social position, including race, educational attainment, income, and attention to concussion related news. In an era of political polarization, Americans are divided along partisan lines in terms of all manner of preferences and patterns of social behavior (Mason 2018;Bishop and Cushing 2008;Sussell 2013;Shi et al 2017;Friedland et al 2007), leading many to describe it as a "culture war" (Alwin and Tufiş 2015;Fiorina et al, 2005). Though our cultural preferences are important ways of signaling group membership and fundamental socio-political values, they can also have potentially significant consequences.…”

Football may be America’s most popular sport, but, with growing evidence of the risk of sport-associated concussions, some adults are reconsidering which sports they would encourage children to play. Using data from a nationally representative sample of 958 respondents, we examine how political party, belief in patriotic displays in sport, attention to concussion news, social class, and race are associated with encouragement of children playing each of the five major U.S. sports: baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, and football. Our findings suggest that unlike other sports, attitudes about youth participation in football are divided by views on patriotism in sport, age, race, education, and attention to concussion news. For many Americans, football is connected to participation in a civil religion, which celebrates national pride and respect for the military. We argue that child safety advocates who aim to steer children away from football must grapple with the deeper cultural and identity-based framework associated with the sport.

“…Almost six out of ten who have participated in youth sports have quit before they turn eighteen years old [ 14 ]. There is a precipitous decline in physical activity and participation in organized sports across the teenage years, highlighting the need to understand influences on PA and sports participation among young people [ 14 – 16 ]. Adolescence is a critical time to develop PA patterns which extend to adulthood [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Physical activity is important for children’s health and wellbeing, yet participation declines across teenage years. It is important to understand the mechanisms that could support adolescents to maintain physical activity participation. The aim of this study was firstly to examine change in sports and nonsports activities over two years during adolescence. Secondly, we explored possible predictors of physical activity and sports participation after two years. Method. A longitudinal cohort study was conducted between 2011 and 2013. Our data were collected from 1225 Norwegian adolescents who were followed over a two-year period, from 6th to 8th grade (11 to 13 years) and from 8th to 10th grade (13 to 15 years). We examined the relations between physical activity and predictors such as peer support, parent support, socioeconomic status (SES), attitude towards physical education, active transportation to school, self-rated health, body image, and change of nonsports activities. We used linear regression analyses and binary logistic regression to explore possible predictors of physical activity and sports participation after two years. Results. We found a significant reduction in sports participation during early adolescence, most pronounced, from 8th to 10th grade (from 13 to 15 years). Factors which predicted physical activity after two years were a positive attitude towards physical education, perceived support from parents, if the student travelled to school in an active way (by walk or bicycle) and also how the student rated his/her own health. The last three factors also predicted improvements of physical activity during the two years. Possible predictors of persisting or starting doing sports were increasing levels of self-rated health, increasing socioeconomic status, whereas increasing engagement in nonsports activities predicted reduced participation in sports. Conclusion. Health promotive efforts aiming at increasing active school transportation, parental support, and subjective health seem important for maintenance of physical activity and sports participation during adolescence. Attitudes may improve by adapting physical education to individual needs and interests and can function as an additional promotive factor.
