FACTORS AFFECTING CHILDREN’S AND ADOLESCENTS’ PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SPORTS ACTIVITY PATTERNS

Abstract

Regular physical activity is becoming more and more popular, which is
partially due to the growing interest for the beneficial effects of physical activity
on the body as well as on the well-being. Individual and social attitudes towards
health related behaviour can be developed most effectively at young ages. The
aim of this study is to list the main factors that may affect children’s and
adolescents’ physical activity and sport activity patterns.
