Researchers have reported that female athletes exhibit lower levels of sexual riskbehaviour than female non athletes. The present study explored four causal structures relevant to such associations. Potential mediators and confounds included physical development, educational aspirations, self - esteem, attitudes toward pregnancy, adolescent involvement in a romantic relationship, age, ethnicity, and social class. Data were analyzed for a sample of femae adolescents in grades 7 through 11 using the national longitudina study of adolescent health in a two wave panel design. A statistical significant association between the occurence of a pregnancy and sports participation was reduced to statistical non significance when certain demographic confounds were held constant, suggesting a spurious association between the variables. Pregnancy attitudes were found to account for the association between sports participation and sexual activity. Finally, sports participation interacted with paternal relationship satisfaction to predict pregnancy, with the father variable having a larger impact for athletes than non athletes.
