Socioeconomic Status and Sport Participation at Different Developmental Stages During Childhood and Youth
This study examines the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and sport and physical activity involvement at different stages of childhood and adolescence in Canada. From the previous literature on SES and health-related behavior, there was reason to test competing hypotheses on the direction of the predicted relationship. The data employed in our analyses came from Cycle 3 of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth—1998–…
Children's Sport Participation in Canada
In this article a study of children's sport participation in Canada is presented, examining both children's participation in organized sport (with a coach or instructor) and informal sport (without a coach or instructor). This was done using a national sample survey. The results indicate that, for participation in organized sport, household income was the strongest predictor variable, followed by parent's education, gender, regional differences, …
Do High School Athletes Earn More Pay? Youth Sport Participation and Earnings as an Adult
This paper reports on tests of relationships between participation in organized sport as a youth and earned income in adulthood. The data are drawn from a sample survey of adult Canadians. The results, both before and after appropriate controls, show that those who participated in organized sport as a youth tended to have higher annual earned incomes as adults than those who did not participate in this way. The relationships are stronger and more…
Exploring Effects of School Sport Experiences on Sport Participation in Later Life
This paper presents findings on the relationship between high school sport participation and involvement in sport as adults. The data are provided by a survey of a large representative national sample of adult Canadians. For different age subgroups among women and men, we tested the school sport experiences hypothesis that sport involvement during the high school years contributes to later adult involvement in sport. The measurement of sport invo…
Body Talk
This paper examines how participation in physically demanding sport, with its potential and actual injurious outcomes, both challenges and reinforces dominant notions of masculinity. Data from 16 in-depth interviews with former and current Canadian adult male athletes indicate that sport practices privileging forceful notions of masculinity are highly valued, and that serious injury is framed as a masculinizing experience. It is argued that a gen…
Sport and Physical Activity and Subjective Well Being
This study examines the relationship between participation in sport and physical activity and feelings of well being. Our previous cross-sectional survey research on this topic (McTeer and Curtis, 1990) is extended through the use of data collected at two points in time from the same respondents in a national sample of Americans. We include social involvement levels, along with other social background factors, as controls in the analyses. We expe…
Physical Activity and Psychological Well-Being
This study examines the relationship between physical activity in sport and feelings of well-being, testing alternative interpretations of the relationship between these two variables. It was expected that there would be positive relationships between physical activity on the one hand and physical fitness, feelings of well-being, social interaction in the sport and exercise environment, and socioeconomic status on the other hand. It was also expe…
