“…The effects of these programs which aim to educate through physical activity and sport is limited, because its practice during leisure time is mediated by several factors: for instance and based on the results of this study, regarding gender, boys have a higher sport engagement than girls in line with the conclusions of other studies: OPACA developed by Cano, Pérez, Casares and Alberola (2011) and the AFINOS study (Martínez-Gómez, Welk, Calle, Marcos, & Veiga, 2009) as well as other studies in Europe (Riddoch, et al, 2007;Sagatun, Kolle, Anderssen, Thoresen, & Søgaard, 2008) and Central America (Dugas, et al, 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, the attached results also remark that girls dedicate more time to sedentary activities as watching TV or playing videogames (Cano, et al, 2011;Sagatun, et al, 2008); this entails a lower socialization and less time dedicated to the coexistence among equals, which could explain, partly, the higher punctuations gathered by boys in personal and social responsibility scale compared to girls.…”

Abstract:This work analyses the relationship between the quantity of practised sport activity and personal and social responsibility development grade, as well as the influence of gender and education stage on these variables. The personal and social responsibility is assessed by the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire. To achieve this, questionnaires have been administrated to 607 Primary and Secondary scholars. Primary students and males show a higher responsibility, higher sport practise levels and a higher perception with regard to their environment about their quantity of practised sport. The positive relationship between the quantity of practised sport, assessed with two different instruments, and the responsibility development grade has also been demonstrated. Therefore, physical activity promotion during adolescence is important not only due to its effects on physical health but also due to its contribution to pro-social character development.

“…However, a Norwegian study found few indications of socially differential tracking of physical activity from age 15 to 18 [100]. We have not found studies addressing whether individuals from lower SEP are more vulnerable to the effects of adolescent physical inactivity (D).…”

Aims: This paper presents a model that encompasses pathways and mechanisms working over adolescence that contribute to adult health inequalities. We review evidence on the four mechanisms: socially differential exposure, tracking, socially differential tracking, and socially differential vulnerability. Methods: We conducted literature searches in English-language peer-reviewed journals using PubMed (from 1966 to May 2009) and PsycINFO, and combined these with hand-searches of reference lists, journals, and authors of particular relevance. Results: Most health indicators are socially patterned in adolescence and track into adulthood, with higher risks of adverse outcomes among individuals from lower socioeconomic positions. Adolescent health behaviours track into adulthood. Smoking, physical activity, and especially fruit and vegetable intake are socially patterned, while evidence for social patterning of alcohol use is less consistent. Relational dimensions like lone parenthood and bullying are socially patterned and track over time, and there are indications of a socially differential vulnerability to the effects of these types of relational strain. Very little research has investigated the social patterning of the above indicators over time or studied social vulnerability of these indicators from adolescence to adulthood. However, all four mechanisms seem to be active in establishing social differences in adult educational attainment. Conclusions: We find the Adolescent Pathway Model useful for providing an overview of what elements and mechanisms in adolescence may be of special importance for adult health inequalities. There is a lack of knowledge of how social patterns of health, health behaviours, and social relations in adolescence transfer into adulthood and to what extent they reflect themselves in adult health.

“…With regard to ethnic differences, previous research in Western countries has shown that (1) ethnic minorities mostly report lower levels of leisure time physical activity (e.g. Crespo et al 2000;Sagatun et al 2008), (2) ethnic minorities meet recommendations for weekly leisure-time physical activity to a lower extent than the majority population (e.g. Schoenborn et al 2004), (3) differences are particularly marked among minority women (e.g.…”

Acculturation and physical activity among immigrants: a systematic review

2011

Aim The acculturation process presents numerous challenges that could benefit or adversely affect immigrants' health practices. The goal of this review was to present a systematic summary of studies examining the relationship between acculturation and physical activity among immigrants and ethnic minority populations. Subjects and methods Systematic review based on 44 original studies found in electronic databases (Psychinfo/ Psyndex, Eric, Pubmed/Medline, Web of Science, SportDiscus). Studies were eligible if they were written in English, German or French, incorporated a measure of acculturation and physical activity, exercise, or sport as independent and dependent variables, and provided statistical information to judge the level of significance. The 44 studies found included 760,242 participants. A narrative synthesis was performed. Causality of effects was examined based on seven criteria: consistency, strength of associations, specificity of effects, temporality, gradient, plausibility and experimental evidence. Results Acculturation was associated with higher leisure time physical activity in 57% of all studies (even after controlling for potential confounds), independent of participants' gender, age and ethnic background. The main limitations of this review are that findings were not weighted for sample size and that publication biases might have contributed to an overestimation of the relationships. Conclusion Prevention programs aimed at stimulating participation in physical activity among immigrants should give priority to individuals with low acculturation levels and it should consider culturally specific beliefs and constraints. Additionally, prevention programs could make an effort to promote acculturation among immigrants. Future studies should use longitudinal designs which include objective assessments of physical activity and which use multidimensional and bidirectional definitions of acculturation.
