Longitudinal studies demonstrate an average decline in physical activity (PA) from adolescence to young adulthood. However, while some subgroups of adolescents decrease activity, others increase or maintain high low activity. Activity domains may differ between (exhibiting different PA patterns), and they offer valuable information for targeted health promotion. Hence, the aim this study was identify patterns adulthood; also explore associations (i) changes sedentary time, (ii)...
Sports clubs form a potential setting for health promotion, but the research is limited. The aim of Health Promoting Club (HPSC) study was to elucidate current promotion activities youth sports and coaches, investigate behaviours status participating in compared non-participants.The design employs cross-sectional multilevel multimethod with aspirations prospective cohort next phase. setting-based variables at coaching levels, behaviour individual level, are investigated using surveys; total...
Only a few countries have introduced health education (HE) as stand-alone school subject. In Finland every pupil in basic grades 7–9 takes three obligatory courses HE. This study investigated Finnish pupils’ perceptions of the teaching and learning It also explored how school- family-related background variables are associated with these perceptions. Nationally representative data were obtained from 2010 school-based on Health Behaviour School-aged Children (HBSC). A total 4262 pupils 7th...
For adolescent athletes, data on nutrition behaviors are limited. The present study aimed to evaluate the dietary habits of sports club participants (SPs) compared with those non-participants (NPs). cross-sectional 1917 adolescents aged 14-16 was based from Finnish Health Promoting Sports Club (FHPSC) study. health behavior surveys were conducted among SPs (n = 1093) and NPs 824). Logistic regression used test statistical significance differences in between NPs. more likely than eat...
Both training volume and overall physical activity (PA) play a role in young athletes’ sports performance athletic development. The purpose of this study was to describe the PA athletes endurance, aesthetics, ball games, power sports. Questionnaire data (n = 671) were obtained from 15-year-old Finnish on participation, along with accelerometer 350) assessing amount intensity their PA. mean weekly 11 h 41 min. Objectively assessed amounted 4 31 min daily, out which 1 at level...
To examine the associations between longitudinal physical activity (PA) patterns and development of cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood.This cohort study encompassed 250 participants recruited sports clubs schools, examined at mean age 15 19. Device-measured moderate-to-vigorous PA was grouped into five (via a data-driven method, using inactivity maintainers as reference). The outcomes were: glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance...
Abstract This study explored sports‐related factors predicting organized sports participation in emerging adulthood. In the Finnish Health Promoting Sports Club (FHPSC) study, 354 club participants aged 15 at baseline reported their main sport, onset age, training volume, current competitive level, and future orientation participated follow‐up age 19. There were differences proportions of maintainers dropouts a few sports: football (maintainers 58.6%), among females, skating 60.7%), swimming...
The decline in physical activity (PA) during adolescence is well-established. However, while some subgroups of adolescents follow the general pattern decreased activity, others increase or maintain high low activity. correlates and determinants different PA patterns may vary, offering valuable information for targeted health promotion. This study aimed to examine how psychosocial factors, behaviours, domains are associated with longitudinal from young adulthood.This prospective encompassed...
Objectives This study focused on how adolescents' perceptions of coaches' health promotion activity predict maintained participation and dropout in organized sports emerging adulthood. In addition, differences lifestyle habits between maintainers, dropouts, nonparticipants were explored.
Abstract Background Although sports clubs’ potential for health promotion is acknowledged, research on whether they promote healthy eating limited. We aimed to evaluate Finnish youth orientation, as well associations between coaches’ nutritional discussions and club participants’ (SPs’) fruit and/or vegetable consumption. Methods The cross-sectional study included 554 SPs aged 14–16 years, 275 officials 311 coaches. Participants replied questionnaires about their own behaviours, including...
Abstract Background Longitudinal studies demonstrate that physical activity (PA) declines on average from adolescence to early adulthood. However, some subgroups of adolescents increase while others decrease or maintain high low activity. Determinants change maintenance (in)activity may differ between and are valuable information for targeted health promotion. The purpose this study was identify PA patterns adulthood, also explore how different domains Sedentary Behaviour (SB) associated...
