OBJECTIVES: To estimate the relationship between family nucleus and sport practice among adolescents. METHODS: A school-based cross-sectional study carried out with 1,752 Brazilian adolescents (812 male and 940 female), aged 11-17 years. Characteristics of the family nucleus (parental education, socioeconomic status and number of siblings) and sport practice (≥240 min/week) were assessed by questionnaires. Adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using Poisson regression models. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of sport practice was 14.8% (boys 21.2% and girls 9.4%, P = 0.001). Higher socioeconomic status, number of siblings and parents' educational level were associated with more sport practice. CONCLUSION: Despite the low engagement, family nucleus plays an essential role in the sport practice of our sample of Brazilian adolescents.
