Female sport participation is a prioritized action area in the 2018 Canadian federal budget for improving health and well-being. This study examined team sport participation prevalence and longitudinal associations with health-related behaviours among Canadian adolescent girls.
We analyzed data from the COMPASS study. Participants included 1978 female secondary-school students who self-reported the following information at all measurement time-points (grades 9, 10, 11, and 12): socio-demographic, team sport participation status (consistent, intermittent and non-participator), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), dietary behaviours, smoking, cannabis use and binge drinking. Linear mixed models and generalized estimating equation models were used to examine team sport participation status in association with changes in health-related behaviours across grades.
The prevalence of team sport participation declined by an average of 38.4% between grades 9 and 12. Proportions of participants being categorized as consistent, intermittent and non-participators were 25.7%, 36.4% and 37.9%, respectively. Compared to non-participators, consistent participators reported significantly greater decline in MVPA (β = - 2.77, 95% CI - 5.36, - 0.18), and the increase in odds of becoming more frequent cannabis users (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.00, 1.26) and binge drinkers (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04, 1.23) was significantly greater. Girls' team sport participation had no significant longitudinal association with dietary behaviours and smoking status.
Team sport participation outside of school settings is risky for prospective health-related behaviours in adolescent girls. Our findings highlight the need for investing in tailored participation initiatives that also consider how to prevent harmful substance use.
女性参与体育运动是 2018 年加拿大联邦预算中改善健康和福祉的优先行动领域。本研究调查了加拿大青春期女孩团队运动参与率及其与健康相关行为的纵向关联。
我们分析了 COMPASS 研究的数据。参与者包括 1978 名女性中学生，他们在所有测量时间点（9 年级、10 年级、11 年级和 12 年级）自我报告以下信息：社会人口统计学、团队运动参与状态（持续、间歇性和非参与者）、中等至剧烈体力活动（MVPA）、饮食行为、吸烟、大麻使用和狂饮。线性混合模型和广义估计方程模型用于研究团队运动参与状态与各年级健康相关行为变化的关联。
9 年级至 12 年级期间，团队运动参与率平均下降了 38.4%。持续、间歇性和非参与者的参与者比例分别为 25.7%、36.4%和 37.9%。与非参与者相比，持续参与者报告的 MVPA 显著下降更大（β=-2.77，95%CI-5.36，-0.18），并且更频繁地成为大麻使用者（OR 1.11，95%CI 1.00，1.26）和狂饮者（OR 1.13，95%CI 1.04，1.23）的几率增加也显著更大。女孩的团队运动参与与饮食行为和吸烟状况没有显著的纵向关联。
校外团队运动参与与青春期女孩未来的健康相关行为存在风险。我们的研究结果强调了需要投资于定制的参与计划，同时考虑如何预防有害的物质使用。
