Abstract
Considering the positive health effects of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), youth is an important life stage to promote lifelong LTPA. However, the stability of LTPA over the life course is low, and specific predictors of LTPA in youth for lifelong activity have some shortcomings, e.g. neglecting the interacting factors of LTPA within individuals. Therefore, from a person-oriented approach, patterns of LTPA behaviour in youth considering time- and context-related aspects and their relationships with lifelong LTPA were investigated. Life course data from n = 1519 Swiss inhabitants aged between 25 and 76 years were recorded retrospectively using a validated questionnaire (CATI method). Latent profile analyses were used to find the optimal profile solution and for the association with lifelong LTPA auxiliary conditional effect models (controlled for age) were applied. Six distinct patterns emerged. Overall, mostly inactive youth are also the least active in adulthood, whereas several other patterns are associated with a mainly continuous LTPA throughout adulthood. More precisely, multiple constellations in youth occurred to be physically active in at least 80% of the years in adulthood: (1) early starters regarding LTPA in a rather self-organised setting but not with many different LTPAs; (2) late entrants with a variety of different activities and organisational settings; or (3) a high expression in every variable investigated. Consequently, there is not just one type of LTPA behaviour in youth linked to lifelong activity, which indicates that certain aspects of LTPA in youth can be compensated by each other. Implications for LTPA promotion can be derived.

期刊介绍：
Die Zeitschrift ist das gemeinsame wissenschaftliche Publikationsorgan der Deutschen Vereinigung für Sportwissenschaft (dvs), des Deutschen Olympischen Sportbundes (DOSB) und des Bundesinstitutes für Sportwissenschaft (BISp) und führt zentrale Anliegen der von 1971 bis 2016 als Sportwissenschaft publizierten Zeitschrift fort. Das German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research steht für die in Deutschland gewachsene Form von Sportwissenschaft, für die wesentlich ist, dass sich geisteswissenschaftliche, naturwissenschaftliche, sozialwissenschaftliche und verhaltenswissenschaftliche Fächer zugunsten einer angemessen facettenreichen Beschreibung und theoretischen Durchdringung des Phänomens Sport und Bewegung zusammenfügen. Die Zeitschrift publiziert im double-blind Peer-Review Verfahren wissenschaftliche Originalbeiträge (Hauptbeiträge, Kurzbeiträge, Literaturübersichten) sowie Essays, Kommentare und Diskussionsbeiträge mit Bezug zu sportwissenschaftlich relevanten Themen. Akzeptiert werden sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch verfasste Beiträge. Das German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research sieht sich explizit dem wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt im internationalen Maßstab verpflichtet. Gemeinsam mit exzellenten Autorinnen und Autoren aus dem deutschsprachigen und internationalen Raum soll die Zeitschrift zu einer international führenden interdisziplinären Fachzeitschrift für Sport und Bewegung weiterentwickelt werden. Wir laden Sie ein, als Autorin oder Autor gemeinsam mit uns an diesem herausfordernden Ziel zu arbeiten.This journal is the joint scientific publication of the Deutsche Vereinigung für Sportwissenschaft (German Association of Sports Science), Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (German Olympic Sports Confederation) and Bundesinstitut für Sportwissenschaft (German Federal Institute of Sports Science). It pursues the central aims and scope of the preceding journal Sportwissenschaft, published from 1971 to 2016. The German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research stands for the German tradition of sport and exercise studies with its essential characteristic of combining science, the humanities, social and behavioral academic disciplines to arrive at a multifaceted description and theoretical understanding of sport and exercise. The journal publishes original articles (main articles, brief communications, reviews), which are subjected to a double-blind peer review process, as well as reviewed essays, commentaries and discussion papers on relevant topics related to sport and exercise research. Both English and German articles are accepted. The German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research is committed to scientific advancement on the international level. Bringing together excellent authors from the German-speaking and the international arena, the journal aims to become one of the foremost international and interdisciplinary sport and exercise journals. We invite you to contribute as an author and help us meet that ambitious goal!
