Does becoming a parent reduce sports participation? A longitudinal study of short- and long-term effects
Together with the different pathways of sport participation in the short- and long-term, these results can inform the development of interventions aimed at sustainable physical activity for new parents
The key roles of teammates, coaches, and instrumental support in adolescent sports participation
IntroductionSports participation is important for promoting lifelong health and well-being. However, it often declines during adolescence, highlighting the need to understand the factors related to adolescent sports participation.

The aim of this study was to examine to what extent motives, perceived competence, encouragement and motor skills were associated with participation in organized sports in a sample of …
