The present study aimed at investigating the influence of home, neighbourhood and school environmental factors on adolescents' engagement in self-reported extracurricular physical activity and leisure time sports and on MVPA objectively measured by accelerometers. Environmental factors were assessed using questionnaires. Gender specific hierarchical regression analyses were conducted, with demographic variables entered in the first block, and environmental, psychosocial factors and interactions terms entered in the second block. Participation in extracurricular activities at school was positively related to the number of organized activities and the provision of supervision. Perceived accessibility of neighborhood facilities was not related to engagement in leisure time sports, whereas the availability of sedentary and physical activity equipment was. Findings were generally supportive of ecological theories stating that behaviors are influenced by personal and environmental factors that are constantly interacting.
本研究旨在探讨家庭、社区和学校环境因素对青少年参与自我报告的课外体育活动和休闲时间运动以及通过加速度计客观测量的中高强度身体活动(MVPA)的影响。环境因素使用问卷进行评估。进行了性别特定的分层回归分析,将人口统计学变量输入第一块,将环境、心理社会因素和交互项输入第二块。参与学校的课外活动与组织活动的数量和提供监督呈正相关。感知到的邻里设施可达性与参与休闲时间运动无关,而久坐和体育活动设备的可用性则有关。研究结果普遍支持生态理论,即行为受到个人和环境因素的影响,这些因素在不断相互作用。
