Description
Six researchers relate fitness to personality and risk attitudes in Spanish teenagers in a paper from 2023. Three hundred seventeen high school students took fitness tests and a sports risk questionnaire. Cardiorespiratory fitness came from a shuttle run, strength from handgrip. Sex differences appeared in fitness and every questionnaire factor. Fitter, stronger, and older students scored higher on several risk-related factors.
Younger and stronger students scored higher on the remaining ones. A mediation analysis delivered the key insight: once fitness entered the model, sex stopped predicting the factors directly. Fitness carried the sex effect. The authors suggest building strength and endurance may shape how teens judge sports risk.
