M mean, SD standard deviation, F statistics obtained from the between-subjects effects; the grouping variable is “average frequency of sports participation per week” at T2: no-sport group (0), moderate-sport group (once or twice a week), high-sport group (three or more times a week); the internal consistency of the variables: Problem behaviour (T1 α = .73; T2 α = .72), pro-social behaviour (T1 α = .61; T2 α = .67), planning T1 α = .85; T2 α = 87), monitoring (T1 α = .78; T2 α = .82), effort (T1 α = .83: T1 α = .83), sense of coherence (T1 α = .83; T2 α = .84)
