The relationships between physical fitness, activity, and self-perceived fitness in adolescents in Hong Kong were investigated. Regular physical activity patterns, self-perceptions of fitness, and health-related physical fitness were measured in 201 secondary school students (M age = 13.8 yr.). The battery of fitness tests measured cardiovascular capacity, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body fat composition. The boys had a higher self-perception of their own fitness and exercised more outside school than the girls. Participation in physical activity was related to cardiovascular capacity, muscular strength, and body composition. Linear regression analysis indicated that exercise activity and body composition explained a portion of variance in the subjects' self-perceived fitness. These findings highlight the connections between physical activity, fitness, and self-perception of fitness and consequently the need for understanding the concept for better health-promotion strategies.
本研究调查了香港青少年的体能、活动水平与自我感知的健康状况之间的关系。对201名中学生（平均年龄 = 13.8岁）的规律体育活动模式、健康状况的自我认知以及与健康相关的体能进行了测量。这一系列体能测试测量了心血管能力、柔韧性、肌肉力量、肌肉耐力和身体脂肪成分。男孩对自身健康状况的自我认知更高，且校外锻炼比女孩更多。参与体育活动与心血管能力、肌肉力量和身体成分有关。线性回归分析表明，运动活动和身体成分解释了受试者自我感知健康状况的部分差异。这些发现凸显了体育活动、体能与健康自我认知之间的联系，因此有必要理解这一概念，以制定更好的健康促进策略。
