Improving adolescents’ levels of sport and physical activity (PA) is an official public health issue. French national government plans were launched in 2001, 2006, and 2011 to improve the participation levels of citizens. These plans should be monitored. To date, information on temporal trends in sports has come from the national population. However, no data are available to measure temporal trends in different territories across the country. Our study aimed to measure these trends among a representative sample of adolescent students of the third biggest French region (Bouches-du-Rhône), but also one of the poorest, between 2001 and 2015. Three surveys were conducted in 2001, 2008, and 2015 in high schools ( = 3218). Logistic regressions adjusted for age were used to determine the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on sports participation and to measure the changes in sport participation rates. Participation declined among all subgroups of adolescents: from 79.0% to 65.8%. The greatest decrease was observed for boys with a high SES, whilst the lowest was for the high-SES girls. We observed that SES inequalities in access to sport increased among the girls, whilst they reduced among the boys. National government plans seem to have had limited success in this territory. Next to national studies, there is a need to develop territory specific studies which could show important disparities across the national territory.
提高青少年的运动和体育活动（PA）水平是一个官方的公共卫生问题。法国政府于 2001 年、2006 年和 2011 年启动了计划，以提高公民的参与水平。这些计划应该得到监测。迄今为止，关于体育的时间趋势的信息来自全国人口。然而，没有数据可用于衡量全国不同地区的时间趋势。我们的研究旨在衡量法国第三大地区（罗纳河口省）也是最贫穷地区之一的代表性青少年学生在 2001 年至 2015 年间的这些趋势。在 2001 年、2008 年和 2015 年，在高中进行了三次调查（=3218）。使用调整了年龄的逻辑回归来确定社会经济地位（SES）对运动参与的影响，并衡量运动参与率的变化。所有青少年亚组的参与率都有所下降：从 79.0%降至 65.8%。SES 较高的男孩下降幅度最大，而 SES 较高的女孩下降幅度最小。我们观察到，女孩在获得运动机会方面的 SES 不平等程度有所增加，而男孩则有所减少。国家政府计划在该地区似乎收效甚微。除了全国性研究外，还需要开展特定于地区的研究，这可能会显示全国范围内的重要差异。
