“…According to the model of youth sport withdrawal (Gould, 1987) and model of voluntary youth sport withdrawal (Lindner et al, 1991), while youth may terminate all sport, many athletes might leave a specific team, competitive level, or sport for another. For example, Gould's (1987) model of youth sport withdrawal suggests sport dropout occurs on a continuum ranging from activity-specific dropout (e.g., baseball, hockey, or swimming) to domain-general dropout (i.e., all sports). Lindner et al's (1991) model of voluntary youth sport withdrawal theorized that dropouts can be classified as samplers, participants, and transfers.…”

“…About 40% of children (aged 5) and adolescents (aged 15) drop out of all organized sports while about 30%–50% of children and adolescents maintain their participation in sport(s) by emerging adulthood 1 (at age 19) 2,3 . Dropout is defined by Gould (1987) on a continuum from dropping out of one sport (activity‐specific) to dropping out of all sports permanently (domain‐general) 4 . Since participation in organized sports has multi‐dimensional health benefits (e.g., related to fitness, body fat, lean mass, self‐esteem, depressive symptoms, or social interaction), 5–7 dropping out from all sports can also be viewed as a public health concern.…”
