The aim of this study was to examine the associations between characteristics of recreational activity and total physical activity (PA).
Recreational activity type and number were assessed for 3385 adult respondents to the population-based Exercise Recreation and Sport Survey and categorized as "no recreational activity," "walking only," "sport only," or "combined walking and sport." Total PA was assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and categorized as "low," "moderate," or "high."
Odds of high total PA were 1.7 times greater among walking-only participants, 2.9 times greater among sport-only participants, and 3.3 times greater among participants in combined walking and sport compared to no recreational activity participants. Greater number of recreational activities related to increased odds of high total PA. Similar associations were observed between recreational activity and moderate total PA.
Participants in more than 1 type of recreational activity were less likely to have a low-active lifestyle.
本研究旨在探讨休闲活动特征与总体身体活动（PA）之间的关联。
对基于人群的运动、休闲与体育调查的3385名成年受访者的休闲活动类型和数量进行评估，并分为“无休闲活动”、“仅步行”、“仅运动”或“步行与运动相结合”。通过国际身体活动问卷评估总体PA，并分为“低”、“中”或“高”。
与无休闲活动参与者相比，仅步行参与者的总体PA高的几率高1.7倍，仅运动参与者高2.9倍，步行与运动相结合的参与者高3.3倍。休闲活动数量越多，总体PA高的几率增加。在休闲活动与中等总体PA之间也观察到类似的关联。
参与多种休闲活动类型的参与者不太可能拥有低活动水平的生活方式。
