Research based on Otago University's multidisciplinary health and development study found that children who joined sports clubs were twice as likely to take part in sports as adults. The relationship between an active childhood and being an active adult was not as strong, however, as was commonly assumed. The study has followed 1000 people since their birth in Dunedin in 1972-73, and researcher Rose Richards looked at their participation in sports between the ages of seven and 21. She found that though the people who were most active at an early age were more likely to be active later in life, their level of participation varied.
