Youth sport specialization may be associated with physical literacy and physical activity in young adulthood. The purposes of this study were to compare young adult (18-25 y) physical literacy and physical activity by high school sport specialization status and to examine the relationship between current physical activity and physical literacy.
Retrospective, cross-sectional study design.
Participants were recruited from ResearchMatch, university classes, and social media posts. Participants (N = 172; aged 22.1 [2.1] y; 80.1% female) completed the following anonymous surveys on REDCap to assess: demographics and injury history, sport specialization, physical literacy (PLAYself), and physical activity (Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire).
When controlling for age, there were no statistically significant differences in physical literacy (F2,166 = 2.02, P = .14) or moderate to vigorous physical activity (F2,161 = 0.24, P = .79) between sport specialization groups. There was a moderate, positive relationship between physical literacy and physical activity (r = .33, P < .001).
Young adult physical literacy and physical activity were similar regardless of youth sport specialization level. Young adult physical literacy was positively associated with physical activity. Future studies should consider physical literacy as a possible correlate of physical activity among young adults.
青少年运动专项化可能与成年早期的身体素养和体育活动有关。本研究的目的是比较成年早期（18 - 25岁）人群根据高中运动专项化状况划分的身体素养和体育活动情况，并检验当前体育活动与身体素养之间的关系。
回顾性横断面研究设计。
参与者通过ResearchMatch、大学课程和社交媒体帖子招募。参与者（N = 172；年龄22.1[2.1]岁；80.1%为女性）在REDCap上完成以下匿名调查以评估：人口统计学和受伤史、运动专项化、身体素养（PLAYself）和体育活动（戈丁休闲时间运动问卷）。
在控制年龄后，运动专项化组之间在身体素养（F2,166 = 2.02，P = 0.14）或中度至剧烈体育活动（F2,161 = 0.24，P = 0.79）方面无统计学显著差异。身体素养与体育活动之间存在中度正相关（r = 0.33，P < 0.001）。
无论青少年运动专项化水平如何，成年早期人群的身体素养和体育活动情况相似。成年早期人群的身体素养与体育活动呈正相关。未来研究应考虑将身体素养作为成年早期人群体育活动的一个可能相关因素。
