We compared rates of sport and physical activity (PA) of transgender and gender diverse adolescents and adolescents questioning their gender (TGDQ) with those of cisgender adolescents. Additionally, we tested for differences in sport and PA among TGDQ youth.
We used 2019 Minnesota Student Survey data (N = 125,375). We calculated descriptive statistics, then used chi-squares and one-way analyses of variance to test for differences in involvement in sports, PA lessons, and PA between TGDQ and cisgender adolescents. Then, we used the same tests to compare participation among all TGDQ adolescents, considering their gender identity and sex assigned at birth.
Overall, TGDQ adolescents participated in sport and PA less than cisgender adolescents; TGD youth participated less than questioning youth. Within sex assigned at birth, participation varied by gender identity.
TGDQ adolescents need support to participate in sport and PA. Adults should remain cognizant that sport restrictions could impair TGDQ adolescents' health.
我们比较了跨性别和性别多样化青少年以及对自己性别存疑的青少年（TGDQ）与顺性别青少年的体育活动和身体活动（PA）率。此外，我们还测试了TGDQ青少年在体育活动和PA方面的差异。
我们使用了2019年明尼苏达学生调查数据（N = 125375）。我们计算了描述性统计数据，然后使用卡方检验和单因素方差分析来测试TGDQ青少年和顺性别青少年在参与体育活动、PA课程和PA方面的差异。然后，我们使用相同的测试来比较所有TGDQ青少年之间的参与情况，同时考虑他们的性别认同和出生时被指定的性别。
总体而言，TGDQ青少年参与体育活动和PA的程度低于顺性别青少年；跨性别青少年的参与程度低于存疑青少年。在出生时被指定的性别范围内，参与情况因性别认同而异。
TGDQ青少年需要支持以参与体育活动和PA。成年人应始终认识到，体育活动限制可能会损害TGDQ青少年的健康。
