The main aim of the study was to determine the associations of participation in organized physical activity (OPA), and the structure of weekly physical activity (PA) with meeting the PA recommendations among Polish boys and girls. The research was conducted between 2012 and 2019 in the Silesian region of Poland among 3499 secondary school students. To determine the structure of PA (school, transportation, home, recreation, vigorous moderate, and walking), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form (IPAQ-LF) questionnaire was used. Adolescents participating in OPA showed significantly more PA ( < 0.001) than non-participating adolescents. The strongest associations were observed between participation in OPA and vigorous PA. The weekly recommendation of vigorous PA was met by 61% of the students with three or more lessons of OPA per week, 29% of students with one or two lessons of OPA per week, and 24% of students not participating in OPA. Therefore, boys and girls with no OPA are at greatest risk of health issues. Schools, sports clubs, and leisure institutions should increase the participation of adolescents in OPA, especially non-participants. Comprehensive school PA programs should especially include those forms of OPA that respect health weaknesses, individual talents for specific types of PA, and preferred types of PA among adolescents.
本研究的主要目的是确定波兰男孩和女孩参与有组织的体力活动(OPA)的情况,以及每周体力活动(PA)的结构与是否符合 PA 建议之间的关联。该研究于 2012 年至 2019 年在波兰西里西亚地区的 3499 名中学生中进行。为了确定 PA 的结构(学校、交通、家庭、娱乐、剧烈和中等强度、步行),使用了国际体力活动问卷-长格式(IPAQ-LF)问卷。参与 OPA 的青少年表现出明显更多的 PA(<0.001)比不参与的青少年。在参与 OPA 和剧烈 PA 之间观察到最强的关联。每周建议进行剧烈 PA,每周有三节课或以上 OPA 的学生中有 61%的人达到了要求,每周有一到两节课 OPA 的学生中有 29%的人达到了要求,而不参加 OPA 的学生中有 24%的人达到了要求。因此,没有 OPA 的男孩和女孩面临最大的健康问题风险。学校、体育俱乐部和休闲机构应增加青少年对 OPA 的参与,特别是非参与者。全面的学校 PA 计划应特别包括尊重健康弱点、个人对特定类型 PA 的天赋以及青少年喜欢的 OPA 形式的那些形式。
