This study investigated the perceived influence of a Healthy Welcoming Environment (HWE) on participation in sports clubs among adolescent girls, and how these perceptions changed longitudinally. HWE was defined in terms of a set of health promotion policies advocated by a health promotion foundation as the basis of sport club health promotion practice to promote structural reform in state sporting organisations and their affiliated associations and clubs. These included sports injury prevention, smoke-free, responsible serving of alcohol, sun protection, healthy eating, and welcoming and inclusive environments.
Year 7 and 11 female students from metropolitan ( = 17) and non-metropolitan secondary schools ( = 14) in Australia were invited to participate in three annual surveys. These surveys collected information about current or past membership of a sports club and the influence of HWEs on their decision to participate (or not) in a sports club.
Year 7 ( = 328; 74.5%) and Year 11 ( = 112; 25.5%) female students completed all three waves (19.6% response rate; 82.7 and 74.0% retention rate). Most agreed that characteristics of HWEs were a positive influence on their participation in sports clubs, except those relating to alcohol and Sunsmart. Welcoming factors had consistent high agreement among respondents. Alcohol and friendliness factors of the club were regarded as being positively influential by higher percentages of non-metropolitan than metropolitan respondents.
Welcoming factors were the most positive influences on decisions to participate in sports clubs. These factors may be important in reducing barriers to sport participation. Strategies supporting the social environment within sports clubs should be prioritised.
本研究调查了健康友好环境（HWE）对青春期女孩参与体育俱乐部的感知影响，以及这些感知如何随时间纵向变化。HWE是根据健康促进基金会倡导的一系列健康促进政策来定义的，这些政策是体育俱乐部健康促进实践的基础，旨在推动国家体育组织及其附属协会和俱乐部的结构改革。这些政策包括运动损伤预防、无烟环境、负责任饮酒服务、防晒、健康饮食以及友好包容的环境。
邀请了澳大利亚大城市（n = 17）和非大城市中学（n = 14）的7年级和11年级女生参加三次年度调查。这些调查收集了有关体育俱乐部当前或过去会员资格的信息，以及HWE对她们参与（或不参与）体育俱乐部决定的影响。
7年级（n = 328；74.5%）和11年级（n = 112；25.5%）的女生完成了所有三轮调查（回复率为19.6%；保留率分别为82.7%和74.0%）。大多数人认为，除了与酒精和明智防晒相关的因素外，HWE的特征对她们参与体育俱乐部有积极影响。受欢迎因素在受访者中始终得到高度认同。与大城市受访者相比，非大城市受访者中更高比例的人认为俱乐部的酒精和友好因素具有积极影响。
受欢迎因素对参与体育俱乐部的决定产生了最积极的影响。这些因素可能在减少体育参与障碍方面很重要。应优先考虑支持体育俱乐部社会环境的策略。
