Purpose: Data evaluating the impact of various types of childhood physical activity on adult leisure time physical activity (LTPA) are inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of organized childhood sporting activities on LTPA as an adult in a cohort of industrial workers. Methods: The frequency of current LTPA, defined as a half hour or more of activity at least once per week, of 3687 industrial workers in the Cardiovascular Occupational Risk Factors in Israel Study (CORDIS) cohort was the outcome variable. We analyzed the association of organized school age sports with adult LTPA, using a multiple logistic regression model, after adjusting for sociodemographic variables including current occupational factors. Results: Participating in organized school age sporting activities predicted LTPA as an adult [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.55, 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) 2.97-4.23]. This association was consistent in the various subgroups of marital status, age, smoking, shift work, body mass index, and religious observance. Conclusions: Organized school age sporting activities influenced future LTPA in this cohort. Attempts to promote these activities may lead to increased levels of LTPA in adults.
