Vigorous physical activity (VPA) declines from adolescence into adulthood, and social disparities in VPA exist. Physical activity is understudied in the college setting.
VPA during high school and college was examined among 10,437 students attending 119 four-year colleges using gender-stratified logistic regression analyses.
Fewer students engaged in VPA in college compared with high school (males 74% to 52%; females 68% to 44%). Athletics was associated with VPA, but 51% participated in high school and 15% in college. Among females, African Americans, Asians, and students of lower socioeconomic position (SEP) were less likely to engage in VPA in college, adjusting for high school VPA. Among males, Asians and older students were less likely to engage in VPA.
VPA declines from high school to college. Athletic participation is a determinant of VPA, but few participate in collegiate athletics. Social disparities in VPA emerge in college, an important setting for promoting VPA and addressing health disparities.
从青春期到成年期，剧烈身体活动（VPA）呈下降趋势，且存在VPA方面的社会差异。在大学环境中，身体活动的研究较少。
使用性别分层逻辑回归分析，对就读于119所四年制大学的10437名学生在高中和大学期间的VPA情况进行了研究。
与高中相比，大学中参与VPA的学生较少（男性从74%降至52%；女性从68%降至44%）。体育运动与VPA相关，但高中时51%的学生参与体育运动，大学时这一比例为15%。在女性中，非裔美国人、亚裔以及社会经济地位较低（SEP）的学生在大学参与VPA的可能性较小，对高中VPA进行调整后仍是如此。在男性中，亚裔和年龄较大的学生参与VPA的可能性较小。
从高中到大学，VPA呈下降趋势。参与体育运动是VPA的一个决定因素，但很少有人参加大学体育运动。在大学中出现了VPA方面的社会差异，而大学是促进VPA和解决健康差异的重要环境。
