May 31 2024University of Jyväskylä A doctoral dissertation from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, found that having difficulties in talking with one's father predicted a decrease in physical activity and the maintenance of low physical activity between adolescence and young adulthood. Reduced physical activity also related to unfavorable changes in cardiometabolic risk factors - glucose metabolism, HDL cholesterol levels, and body mass index.
The relationship between difficulties in talking with one's father and decreased or maintained low physical activity is an interesting and new finding." "Health promotion that does not directly involve physical activity should be seen as an opportunity to promote physical activity. For example, the interaction between a father and an adolescent may be reflected in physical activity behavior. This would be worth investigating in more detail in the future.
Participation in sports clubs supports the maintenance of activity The study also found that withdrawal from a sports club was common. About one third of the study participants dropped out of sports club activities after age 15. The continuation of sports club activities seemed to support the maintenance of physical activity.
