IntroductionMany children fail to meet international guideline recommendations for health-related activity (>= 60 minutes/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]), and intervention studies to date have reported negligible effects.ObjectiveExplore the associations of organized leisure-time sport participation with overall physical activity levels and health-related physical activity guideline concordance.MethodsThis prospective cohort study was nested in the Childhood Health, Activity, and Motor Performance School Study Denmark. Study participants were a representative sample of 1124 primary school students. Organized leisure-time sport participation was reported via text messaging and physical activity was objectively measured over seven days with accelerometry. Associations between sport participation and physical activity level were explored with multilevel mixed-effects regression models and reported with beta coefficients (b) and adjusted odds ratios (aOR).ResultsParticipants were 53% female, with mean(SD) age = 8.4(1.4) years. Boys were more active than girls (p
