Physical activity is important for well-being across the life span. However, links between patterns of adolescent activity, competence perceptions, and young adult outcomes are underexplored. We used data from seven waves of the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development (N = 5,961) to assess patterns of adolescent athletic participation, whether these patterns were associated with self-perceived athletic competence and young adult physical activity, depressive symptoms, and health, and associations between changes in participation across adolescence and young adult outcomes. Competence perceptions were associated with increased participation, and more active adolescents had higher rates of adult athletic activity, with links to better health and fewer depressive symptoms. We discuss results in light of the importance of using person-centered analyses to understand active lifestyles.
体育锻炼对全生命周期的健康都很重要。然而，青少年活动模式、能力感知与青年期结果之间的联系还没有得到充分的探索。我们使用了 4-H 青少年正向发展研究（4-H Study of Positive Youth Development）的七轮数据（N=5961），评估了青少年运动参与的模式，这些模式是否与自我感知的运动能力以及青年期的身体活动、抑郁症状和健康有关，以及青少年时期参与度的变化与青年期结果之间的关系。能力感知与参与度的增加有关，更活跃的青少年有更高的成人运动活动率，与更好的健康和更少的抑郁症状有关。我们根据使用以人为中心的分析来理解积极生活方式的重要性来讨论这些结果。
