Sports for adolescents and the guidelines of Idrotten vill

Spontanious sporting has for the last decades reduced and is today not as common as it was before. The effect of this evolution has been that people are much more inactive and the risk for population diseases has increased. This means that the organized sporting has become more important for the public health, especially for adolescents. But for the last years the number of adolescents that drops out from organizational sports between the ages of 16 to 20 years old has been increasing, which is a problem. A document called “Idrotten vill” has because of that problem been made with the content for how the sport movement should be conducted for the different age groups. The aim for this study has been to gain an insight into how five organizational sports clubs in northern Sweden are conducting their sports for adolescents by the guidelines from “Idrotten vill” and what possible differences there may be between organizational sport clubs focused on individual sports and team sports. To get the information needed five interviews was made with five different people from organizational sports, divided in three individual sports and two team sports. The result shows that the organizational sports are conducting their sports for adolescents by the guidelines from “Idrotten vill” with some differences between the individual sports and team sports
