With digitalization and virtual entertainment being the megatrends of the 21st century, there is reasonable concern about the role of physical activity (PA) in the daily life of children and adolescents. To identify risk-groups with insufficient PA and to guide interventions, continuous and representative tracking of PA is crucial. In this paper, representative PA data of children and adolescents from the Motorik-Modul (MoMo) baseline study (2003-2006, N = 4,528) is compared to those of Wave 2 (2014-2017, N = 3,708). Participants aged 4-17 were drawn out of 167 sample points in Germany and the data was weighted to ensure representativeness for Germany. Organized (sports clubs and schools) and unorganized (unorganized sports and playing outside) PA was measured by questionnaire and stratified by sex, age, and socioeconomic status. Contrary to common expectation, overall PA remained stable among youths in the past ten years, however, there is an ongoing trend towards organized forms of PA at the expense of unorganized sports and playing outside. Besides different trends in settings, there is inequality in PA distribution among socioeconomic status and gender, unequally pronounced in different settings.
随着数字化和虚拟娱乐成为 21 世纪的大趋势，人们对儿童和青少年日常生活中体力活动（PA）的作用产生了合理的担忧。为了确定体力活动不足的风险群体，并指导干预措施，连续和有代表性的体力活动跟踪至关重要。在本文中，将比较儿童和青少年的代表性体力活动数据来自 Motorik-Modul（MoMo）基线研究（2003-2006，N=4528）和第 2 波（2014-2017，N=3708）。参与者年龄在 4-17 岁之间，来自德国的 167 个样本点，数据经过加权处理以确保对德国具有代表性。组织（体育俱乐部和学校）和非组织（非组织体育和户外活动）PA 通过问卷进行测量，并按性别、年龄和社会经济地位进行分层。与普遍预期相反，在过去十年中，青少年的总体体力活动保持稳定，但有组织形式的 PA 呈持续增长趋势，而非组织体育和户外活动则呈下降趋势。除了不同的活动设置外，社会经济地位和性别之间的 PA 分布也存在不平等，在不同的活动设置中表现程度不同。
