ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to examine trends and determinants of organised sports participation among children of immigrant parents from low-and-middle-income countries, high-income countries, and Australian children.DESIGN:
Longitudinal (nine-year follow-up).METHODS:
Data were from the birth-cohort of Australian Children aged 6-15â¯years with follow-up between 2010 and 2018. Organised sports participation was measured using two items about regular participation in team and individual sports. Multilevel logit modelling was used to assess the determinants of organised sports participation across groups.RESULTS:
Both team sports participation and individual sports participation increased between 6 and 11â¯years and declined between 11 and 15â¯years across the three groups. Children of immigrant parents from low-and-middle-income countries (OR 0.65; 95â¯% CI 0.57-0.74) and high-income countries (OR 0.82; 95â¯% CI 0.76-0.89) had lower odds of team sports participation than Australian children. Children of immigrant parents from low-and-middle-income countries had lower odds of team sports participation (OR 0.79; 95â¯% CI 0.69-0.90) than children of immigrant parents from high-income countries. Female children, high screen time, high psychological difficulties, increased number of siblings and low socio-economic position were identified as determinants of lower team and individual sports participation.CONCLUSIONS:
The present study identified evidence of disparities in organised sports participation among children of immigrant parents and Australian children. Multilevel and multicomponent interventions to promote children's organised sports participation should be prioritised, with a focus on children of the female sex, older children, children with lower socioeconomic status, and children with higher screen time and higher psychological difficulties.Palabras clave
