  1. * = p < .05; ** = p < .01; *** = p < .001; CI = confidence interval; LL = lower limit; UL upper limit. Unstandardized beta coefficients (B), 95% ordinary least squares CI for B, and 95% bootstrap CI for the indirect effects. The following variables were entered as covariates: SES, age, gender, immigrant background, and parents’ role-modeling behaviors. We also controlled for T1 sports participation when looking at T2 sports participation, and T1 sports intensity when looking at T2 sports intensity
