The Role of Organized Sports Participation during Adolescence in Adult Physical Activity Patterns An active adult lifestyle is related to higher quality of life regarding physical and psychological well-being. This study investigates the influence of organized sports participation during adolescence in adult physical activity in a retrospective way. A sample of participants living in the north of Spain was asked to report the minutes invested in vigorous, moderate and walking activities during the last seven days. Results showed that those who had been sports club members or had participated in competition prior to the age of 16 had spent a longer time on vigorous activities and a lesser amount of minutes on walking during the last seven days. Implications of adolescent organized sport for continuity of physical activity in adulthood are discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the relation between parents’ physical activity and a child’s physical activity in leisure time and to identify the extent parents engage in physical education of their children. Methods: The research was conducted among randomly selected parents of children aged 7-10 years living in Cracow. The study involved 334 parents (children aged 7-8 years), 365 (children aged 8-9 years) and 317 (children aged 9-10 years). The diagnostic survey method was used in the study, and the basic technique was a questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate the level of parents’ physical activity, their children’s physical activity, and parents’ interest in their children’s physical education. The SPSS 21 (IBM Corp., 2012), chi-square signifi cance test and Spearman rho correlation analysis were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results: The results have shown that the level of parents’ engagement in the physical activity of children at a school age (85.1%) was very low. The parents’ physical activity was clearly aff ected by their education and socio-economic status. The fi ndings have also indicated that the highest number of children aged 7-10 (39.8%) pursue physical activity at an average level. The highest level of physical activity was detected in a small group of children (4.1%) and low and very low in 34.7% of participants. The level of parents’ interest in the physical activity of children was mostly moderate (45.4%). However, a considerable number of parents (41.4%) exhibited a low level of interest. Conclusion: The level of physical activity of parents and their children in leisure time is low. It was found that a child’s depends on family socio-economic status, parents’ educational background, their physical activity and engagement in physical education of a child.

Background:Childhood obesity has become a modern epidemic with escalating rates. The aim of our study was to identify physical activity patterns among Greek schoolchildren and to examine their relationship with obesity.Methods:700 adolescents age 10 to 12 years were evaluated through a standardized questionnaire. Several demographic, socioeconomic, and physical activity characteristics were recorded. Physical activity was assessed and adolescents were characterized as active and nonactive. Body height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated in order to to classify subjects as overweight or obese (IOTF classification). Multiple logistic regression and multivariate techniques (principal components analysis) were performed.Results:Eight physical activity patterns were identified, including increased physical activity in weekdays and weekends, sports physical activity, vigorous, moderate, and low physical activity. Increased physical activity on weekends and vigorous physical activity in boys were negatively associated with being overweight or obese (OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.48−0.90 and OR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.49−0.88, correspondingly) and moderate physical activity was marginally positively associated in girls (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 0.97−1.69), after adjusting for several confounders.Conclusions:Our findings demonstrate the important role of vigorous physical activity in the maintenance of normal weight of adolescents
