[Sociological aspects of sports activities in adolescents].
The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological, psychosocial and sociological aspects influencing the practice of physical activity of young people. Of approximately 1800 17 to 18 years old boys and girls going to an official school in Geneva, 600 were chosen at random. Unskilled workers could not be included into the study. 443 subjects could be contacted and interviewed in spring 1973 through a codified questionnaire. A first evaluation of the answers focused on the influences of sex, social status, type of sport practised, as well as the ideological integration. The results correlated well with current empiric experiences or with most of the hypothesis on which the questionnaire was based.
