Rehab News:Kids who fail at sport may be susceptible to alcoholism

Children who are poor at sports may be more likely to experience isolation and social rejection, which in turn have been linked to future emotional problems and alcoholism, researchers have said.

A Canadian study looked at 208 children and found that those who were good at athletic disciplines tended to be popular at school, while those who were deemed to be unskilled by their classmates often experienced sadness and rejection.

Publishing their findings in the Journal of Sport Behaviour, the researchers suggest that they may be important for helping children to avoid the kind of schoolyard rejection that could trigger future problems.

Lead researcher Janice Causgrove Dunn, of the University of Alberta's faculty of physical and recreation, said: "For both boys and girls, we found that popular children reported less loneliness and received higher athletic ability ratings from their peers than rejected children.

"Conversely, the kids who reported higher levels of loneliness tended to receive lower athletic ability ratings and lower social acceptance ratings from their peers."

The expert noted that prolonged loneliness in adolescence and early adulthood has been linked to behaviours such as smoking, cannabis use and alcoholism.

She continued: "Given the proven negative impact of loneliness on a child's wellbeing, this kind of research is an important endeavour.

"It's important to identify and understand the factors that might increase a child's likelihood of being accepted by the peer group, because this, in turn, decreases the likelihood of that child experiencing the destructive psychosocial and emotional problems that often come with rejection."
