This study applies health lifestyle theory to describe patterns of sports participation and explore their associations with other health-relevant behaviours (smoking and at-risk drinking), socio-economic position (education and household income), and language region in Switzerland. We applied a bias corrected three-step latent class analysis to a cross-sectional sample of young Swiss men (N = 10,458) collected in 2010–2011. Five different patterns of sports participation were revealed: overall very active (22.8%), informally very active (42.6%), only collectively active (9.6%), only active alone (5.9%) and overall inactive (19.1%). Elevated proportions of smoking and at-risk drinking co-occurred with particular patterns of sports participation. Daily smoking was associated with rarely or never engaging in sports alone or in pairs. Frequent participation in club sports or engagement in self-organized sports in a group was not associated with a lower likelihood of at-risk drinking. In line with health lifestyle theory and previous findings, our results suggest that distinct sports participation patterns are associated with other health-relevant behaviours, socio-economic position, and language region in Switzerland
