Social epidemiology of sports and extracurricular activities in early adolescents
Average early adolescent physical activity decreased across three years of follow-up. Soccer, musical instruments, swimming/water polo, baseball/softball, and ballet/dance were the most common activities at baseline. Female sex, gay/bisexual sexual orientation, lower household income, and lower parental education were associated with lower weekly physical activity at baseline.
