背景资料：众所周知，体育参与与儿童的心理健康呈正相关，但缺乏关于这种关联随时间推移的详细信息。本研究旨在探讨纵向协会之间的几个特点的体育参与和三个方面的心理健康（内化问题，外化问题和亲社会行为）在荷兰的儿童年龄10-12 years.Methods：数据从695四年级小学儿童被列入基线; 10-13个月后，487名儿童（响应率70.1%）被保留。在这两个时间点，儿童报告了他们的运动参与（运动和运动监测问卷-8-12岁的青少年）和心理社会健康（力量和困难问卷）。使用线性混合模型分析了体育参与的几个特征和心理社会健康的三个方面之间的纵向关联，这两个聚类重复的措施在儿童和学校内的儿童。除了粗略的分析，分析进行调整性别，年龄，BMI，家庭组成，SES和频率的体育participation.Results：会员在体育俱乐部，中等或高频率的体育参与，执行团队运动，执行户外运动，执行接触性运动和参与竞争纵向与较少的内化问题。随着儿童BMI的增加，较高的运动参与频率与较少的内化问题的纵向关联更强。只有在男孩中才观察到进行团队运动与较少的内化问题之间的关联。体育俱乐部的会员资格和中等或高频率的体育参与也与更好的亲社会行为纵向相关。这些与亲社会行为的联系对女孩来说更强。没有一个特征的体育参与检查纵向与externalizing problems.Conclusions：本研究表明，从纵向的角度来看，较少的内化问题和更好的亲社会行为被认为是积极参与体育运动的儿童。较少的内化问题也与体育参与的类型有关;例如，进行户外运动。没有发现与外部化问题有关的联系。未来的研究最好采取干预的形式，以调查观察到的统计关联是否具有因果关系。
Background: It is well known that sports participation is positively associated with psychosocial health in children, but details about this association over time are lacking. This study aimed to explore longitudinal associations between several characteristics of sports participation and three aspects of psychosocial health (internalizing problems, externalizing problems and prosocial behaviour) in Dutch children aged 10-12 years.Methods: Data from 695 fourth-grade primary school children were included at baseline; 10-13 months later, 487 children (response rate 70.1%) were retained. At both time points, children reported on their sports participation (Move and Sports Monitor Questionnaire - Youth Aged 8-12 Years) and psychosocial health (Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire). Longitudinal associations between several characteristics of sports participation and the three aspects of psychosocial health were analysed using linear mixed models, both clustering the repeated measures within children and clustering the children within schools. In addition to crude analyses, analyses were performed adjusting for sex, age, BMI, household composition, SES and frequency of sports participation.Results: Membership in a sports club, moderate or high frequency of sports participation, performing team sports, performing outdoor sports, performing contact sports and involvement in competition were longitudinally associated with fewer internalizing problems. The longitudinal association of higher frequency of sports participation with fewer internalizing problems was stronger as a child's BMI increased. The association of performing team sports with fewer internalizing problems was only observed for boys. Membership in a sports club and moderate or high frequency of sports participation were also longitudinally associated with better prosocial behaviour. These associations with prosocial behaviour were stronger for girls. None of the characteristics of sports participation examined were longitudinally associated with externalizing problems.Conclusions: This study shows that from a longitudinal perspective, fewer internalizing problems and better prosocial behaviour were seen in children who were active in sports. Fewer internalizing problems were also associated with the kind of sports participation; for example, with performing outdoor sports. No associations were found for externalizing problems. Future research should preferably take the form of an intervention to investigate whether the observed statistical associations are of a causal nature.
