We aimed to better understand longitudinal physical activity experiences among initially active adolescents and to identify and describe distinct physical activity profiles.
A sample of 23 physically active participants [52% female; mean age = 12.2 (0.6) years at study inception] were selected from the MATCH study to take part in this nested qualitative descriptive study. Participants were interviewed once a year for six years. Following individual-level analyses, profiles were identified based on similarity of longitudinal experiences.
Four profiles captured participants' experiences: Independents (those who progressively seek activities that cater to their pursuit of autonomy); Multitaskers (those who participate in many different sports as an integral part of their lifestyle); Specialists (those who are dedicated to becoming the best they can be at one sport); Undecided (those who take part in physical activity to occupy time).
The exploration of longitudinal physical activity experiences led to the identification of distinct profiles that could be targets for tailored interventions, theory development, and participation models.
我们旨在更好地了解最初活跃的青少年的纵向体育活动经历，并识别和描述不同的体育活动概况。
从MATCH研究中选取23名积极参与体育活动的参与者[女性占52%；研究开始时的平均年龄为12.2（0.6）岁]，参与这项嵌套式定性描述性研究。参与者连续六年每年接受一次访谈。在进行个体层面的分析后，根据纵向经历的相似性确定概况。
四种概况体现了参与者的经历：独立者（那些逐渐寻求符合其自主追求的活动的人）；多面手（那些将参与多种不同运动作为其生活方式不可或缺一部分的人）；专家型（那些致力于在一项运动中做到最好的人）；犹豫不决者（那些参与体育活动只是为了打发时间的人）。
对纵向体育活动经历的探索导致识别出不同的概况，这些概况可成为量身定制干预措施、理论发展和参与模式的目标。
