116 | Chapter 14 Switching from a club to a “light” setting or not practising sport at all Table 4.3 presents descriptive statistics for the sport setting in wave 2, for those who practised sport in a club setting in wave 1 (N=522). All in all, 52.7% of these respondents were still in a sport club in wave 2, 42% had switched to a “light” setting, and 5.4% had dropped out of sport. Considering the five major life events, continuation of sport in a club setting seemed least affected by starting a paid job (64.7% stability). It was most disturbed by entering an intimate relationship (44.9% stability). The switch to a semi-formal commercial or alternative setting was most common (15.7%). However, the switch to a “lighter” informal group setting seemed most likely among those who got married (16.2%) and those who had a child (15.8%). Moving to individual sporting was most common among those leaving full-time education (17.5%), beginning work (13.7%), and entering an intimate relationship (18.8%). Table 4.3 Descriptive statistics of the sport setting in wave 2, for individuals who practised sport (mostly) in a club setting in the first wave and experienced different major life events between wave 1 and wave 2. RESPONDENTS WHO IN WAVE 1: Practised sport mostly in a club setting (100%; N=522) AND BETWEEN WAVE 1 AND 2: Left full-time education (15.3%; N=80) Started working (>32 hours a week) (9.8%; N=51) Entered an intimate relationship (13.2%; N=69) Started cohabiting/got married (11.7%; N=61) Became a parent (7.3%; N=38) 52.7% 51.3% 64.7% 44.9% 52.7% 55.3% 15.7% 10.0% 11.8% 17.4% 9.5% 7.9% 12.3% 15.0% 2.0% 10.1% 16.2% 15.8% 14.0% 17.5% 13.7% 18.8% 14.9% 13.2% 5.4% 6.3% 7.8% 8.7% 6.8% 7.9% Club setting (did not switch or stop) Commercial/ alternative setting Informal group setting Individual setting (alone) Not practising sport at all WAVE 2: Source: NELLS wave 1 (2009) and wave 2 (2013); N=522 Investigating these effects more thoroughly, Table 4.4 presents the results of multinomial logistic regression analyses of switching from practising sport in a club setting to practising sport in different “light” settings, or not practising sport at all. The estimates presented in Table 4 deal specifically with the transition to adulthood within the five major domains and were controlled for gender, migration background, age, educational level, and number of sports. Our results show that the switch from a club setting to a “light” setting, or stopping sport altogether, was influenced by life events within the educational,
