The effects of adolescence sports and exercise on adulthood leisure-time physical activity in educational groups

Makinen, T.E., Borodulin, K., Tammelin, T.H., Rahkonen, O., Laatikainen, T., & Prattala, R. (2010). The effects of adolescence sports and exercise on adulthood leisure-time physical activity in educational groups.

Physical inactivity has become a major public health problem and clear educational differences in physical activity have been reported across Europe and USA. The origins of adulthood physical activity are suggested to be in childhood and adolescence physical activity. Hardly any studies have, however, examined if the educational differences in physical activity might also be due to educational differences in early experiences in physical activity. Thus, our aim was to examine how competitive sports in youth, and exercise in late adolescence, and opinions on physical education (PE) in childhood determined adulthood leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in different educational groups.
