A1 Ramos Valverde, Pilar A1 Moreno Rodríguez, Mª Carmen AB This study aimed to examine the influence of sport activities by peer groups and the family on the frequency of adolescents’ participationin organized sport activities. A sample of 9,821 Spanish adolescent schoolchildren between the ages of 11 and 18 from the 2010 edition of the internationalstudy on Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) was used. The results obtained by means of an Answer Tree multivariate analysis indicatedthat gender was the best predictor of organized sport activity, with participation being notably higher in boys. As for the role of other variables, thepractice of sport in peer and family activities were the most influential variables for boys. On the contrary, in the girls’ case, age appeared as the firstfactor and the influence of sport in family activities and the peer group was different depending on age. In conclusion, family and peers seem to be significantinfluences on involvement in sport, despite having different roles according to the adolescents’ gender and age PB Universitat de les Illes Balears: Servicio de Publicaciones SN 1132-239X YR 2012 FD 2012-06 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/15092 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/15092 LA spa NO Irene García Moya, María del Carmen Moreno Rodríguez, Francisco José Rivera de los Santos, Antonia Jiménez Iglesias , Pilar Ramos Valverde.
