This study assessed longitudinal associations between preadolescent's physical activity engagement (PA), health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and teasing during physical activity (TDPA).
108 children completed measures of PA, HRQOL, and TDPA during fourth or fifth grade and 1 year later. Potential longitudinal associations between study variables were tested using structural equation modeling.
Weight status emerged as an important moderator of the structural relationships. TDPA predicted later HRQOL for children with overweight and obesity, whereas HRQOL predicted later PA in children with normal weight. Both groups demonstrated a significant association between TDPA and HRQOL cross-sectionally.
Children with overweight or obesity who experience TDPA are more likely to report poorer subsequent HRQOL. Children with normal weight who experience TDPA are at increased risk for reduced PA 1 year later. Efforts to reduce TDPA may benefit children's HRQOL and increase PA participation.
本研究评估了青春期前儿童的身体活动参与度(PA)、健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)以及体育活动期间的被嘲笑经历(TDPA)之间的纵向关联。
108名儿童在四年级或五年级期间以及1年后完成了PA、HRQOL和TDPA的测量。使用结构方程模型测试了研究变量之间潜在的纵向关联。
体重状况成为结构关系的重要调节因素。TDPA预测超重和肥胖儿童随后的HRQOL,而HRQOL预测正常体重儿童随后的PA。两组在横断面水平上均显示出TDPA与HRQOL之间存在显著关联。
经历TDPA的超重或肥胖儿童更有可能报告随后较差的HRQOL。经历TDPA的正常体重儿童在1年后PA减少的风险增加。减少TDPA的努力可能有益于儿童的HRQOL并增加PA参与度。
