Minder middelengebruik door sport?

  • Artikelen

Verslaving

Gezien de prevalentie, risico’s en kosten van middelengebruik onder adolescenten, is aandacht voor het verband tussen sportparticipatie en middelengebruik maatschappelijk relevant. Tot op heden is deze relatie tijdens de adolescentie echter beperkt onderzocht. Dit artikel toont de resultaten van een gestructureerde literatuurzoekopdracht. De relatie tussen sport en middelengebruik verschilt voor alcohol, roken en cannabis. Enerzijds gebruiken sportende jongeren minder tabak of cannabis. Anderzijds lijkt sporten samen te gaan met een hoger alcoholgebruik, vooral als jongeren in teamverband sporten. Er bestaan verschillende biologische, individuele, sociale en culturele mechanismen die een hypothetische verklaring bieden voor deze verbanden, waarbij vooral de sportcontext, sociale interactie en peer-normen van belang zijn. Sporten kan als goedkope en schadeloze interventie worden ingezet tegen bijvoorbeeld middelenmisbruik. Toch dienen interventies gericht op sportpromotie ook rekening te houden met (contextuele) factoren die vooral het risico op alcoholgebruik kunnen verhogen.

Summary: Due to sport less substance use?

Dorien de Bruijn, Manja van Wezep, Ninette van Hasselt and Simone Onrust

Because of the prevalence, risks and costs of adolescents’ substance use research regarding the relation between sport participation and substance use is of social relevance. Up to now, however, research on this relation during adolescence is limited. This article shows the results of a structured literature search. The relation between sport and substance use differs for alcohol, smoking and cannabis. On the one hand, youth participating in sports use less tobacco or cannabis. On the other hand, sport in adolescence seems associated with drinking more alcohol, especially in case youth participates in team sports. Several biological, individual, social and cultural mechanisms exist which offer hypothetic explanations for these relations, in which sport context, social interaction and peer norms are of particular interest. Sport can be used as cheap and harmless intervention against substance misuse for instance. Nevertheless, interventions focused on sport promotion should bear in mind (contextual) factors that might increase especially the risk of alcohol use.

Notes

  1. De relatie tussen bewegen en cannabisgebruik wordt in sommige studies apart besproken en in andere studies samen met andere (illegale) drugs. Aangezien cannabis in Nederland geen verboden drug is, wordt apart aandacht geschonken aan de relatie tussen bewegen en cannabisgebruik.

  2. De mechanismen gelden niet per definitie enkel onder jongeren, maar zijn wel (overwegend) afkomstig uit artikelen die jongeren betreffen.
