  1. 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 sports-related family co-activities. We also controlled for T1 sports participation when looking at T2 sports participation, and T1 sports intensity when looking at T2 sports intensity
  2. CI = confidence interval; LL = lower limit; UL upper limit
  3. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001
