This article proposes a new approach to understand substance use among adolescent athletes. Thus, this article describes an investigation of the likelihood of alcohol and tobacco use in adolescent athletes considering the type of sport, age, gender, and their action tendencies. A total of 552 athletes with an age range of 12-16 years were engaged in medium-high-contact sports ( = 291) and non-contact sports ( = 261). They completed the Children's Action Tendency Scale, the Sport Children's Action Tendency Scale, and the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire. The results showed that 16-year-old athletes were the most likely to drink alcohol and to smoke tobacco ( < 0.001). Likewise, it was found that practicing a medium-high-contact sport was a risk factor for alcohol and tobacco use ( < 0.01). The more aggressive athletes were more likely to have smoked tobacco during the last month ( = 0.019) and also to drink more alcohol that the less aggressive ones ( < 0.001). Finally, the athletes who showed more submissiveness were less likely to have drunk alcohol in the last year and the last month ( < 0.001). These findings show the predictive value of new factors associated with alcohol and tobacco use among adolescent athletes. Preventive measures should be targeted, since a new link between the action tendencies in sport and substance use has been found.
本文提出了一种理解青少年运动员物质使用情况的新方法。因此，本文描述了一项关于青少年运动员饮酒和吸烟可能性的调查，该调查考虑了运动类型、年龄、性别及其行为倾向。共有552名年龄在12至16岁之间的运动员参与了中高接触性运动（n = 291）和非接触性运动（n = 261）。他们完成了儿童行为倾向量表、运动儿童行为倾向量表以及个人和社会责任问卷。结果显示，16岁的运动员饮酒和吸烟的可能性最大（p < 0.001）。同样，研究发现从事中高接触性运动是饮酒和吸烟的一个风险因素（p < 0.01）。攻击性越强的运动员在过去一个月内吸烟的可能性越大（p = 0.019），并且比攻击性较弱的运动员饮酒量更多（p < 0.001）。最后，表现出更多顺从性的运动员在过去一年和过去一个月内饮酒的可能性较小（p < 0.001）。这些发现显示了与青少年运动员饮酒和吸烟相关的新因素的预测价值。由于已发现运动中的行为倾向与物质使用之间存在新的联系，预防措施应具有针对性。
