TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sport can make a useful, if not sufficient role in helping high school athletes reach recommended PA levels and that the context that characterizes sport practices is a significant determinant in how much PA occurs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Background: Organized sports provide children and adolescents with opportunities to achieve recommended amounts of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and schools are a primary setting for sports programs. The main aims of this study were to examine participant physical activity (PA) levels during the most popular high school sports in the United States and to assess the influences of practice contextual factors on PA levels.
