There is a positive correlation between physical activity and health. The aim of this study was to describe self-related health, sports, level of physical activity and possible musculoskeletal complaints among Swedish high school students and to analyze whether there were any differences in these aspects between gender and students from different high school programs.
A questionnaire was distributed and a total of 1,090 high school students answered it (468 males, 622 females), aged 16-26 years.
Students from theoretical programs reported better self-related health than students from practical programs. Females from practical programs reported poorer self-related health than other students. Physically active students reported better self-related health than less physically active students. Fifty-seven percent reported to be physically active in sport. Students from practical programs were less physically active than those from theoretical programs. Females from the practical programs were the least active ones. Fifty percent of the students reported complaints; the percentage was higher among females. There was no difference between students from theoretical and practical programs in terms of reporting complaints. Back and knee complaints were the most common ones.
According to these results it would be advisable for adolescents to be stimulated to participate in physical activity in order to increase the possibility of a healthy life.
体育活动与健康之间存在正相关。本研究的目的是描述瑞典高中生的自我健康状况、体育活动、身体活动水平以及可能存在的肌肉骨骼问题，并分析这些方面在性别和不同高中课程的学生之间是否存在差异。
发放了一份问卷，共有1090名高中生（468名男生，622名女生）回答了问卷，年龄在16至26岁之间。
理论课程的学生报告的自我健康状况优于实践课程的学生。实践课程的女生报告的自我健康状况比其他学生差。身体活跃的学生报告的自我健康状况优于身体活动较少的学生。57%的学生报告参加体育活动。实践课程的学生比理论课程的学生身体活动少。实践课程的女生是最不活跃的。50%的学生报告有不适；女生中的比例更高。理论课程和实践课程的学生在报告不适方面没有差异。背部和膝盖不适是最常见的。
根据这些结果，建议鼓励青少年参与体育活动，以增加健康生活的可能性。
