Cardiometabolic Outcomes of Youth Participating in Organized Sport from Childhood to Early Adolescence
Sports dropout in early adolescence is associated with poorer CMRS, while consistent participation in team sport with or without individual sport is associated with better CMRS. Further research exploring associations between cardiometabolic health and sports dropout, and strategies to improve youth sport retention should be prioritised.
