This study aimed to examine the association of different frequencies of organized sport participation (OSP) with physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, sleep, and screen time among adolescents. A cross-sectional study involving 315 16-year-old adolescents was conducted. OSP was self-reported, being categorized as 0 times a week, less than three times a week, 4-5 times a week, and 6-7 times a week, on average. Screen time was also self-reported but physical activity and sleep duration were objectively measured. Cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition were measured using a maximal cycle ergometer test and a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, respectively. An analysis of covariance revealed a significant association between OSP and physical activity (F (3, 286) = 14.53, < 0.01), cardiorespiratory fitness (F (3, 236) = 17.64, < 0.01), screen time (F (3, 294) = 8.14, < 0.01), body fat percentage (F (3, 292) = 11.84, < 0.01), and fat free mass (F (3, 290) = 5.76, < 0.01. No significant association was found between OSP and sleep duration. Post hoc analyses showed that OSP at least four times a week was beneficial to favorable physical activity levels, cardiorespiratory fitness, screen time, and body composition and may therefore serve as a valuable tool in battling unhealthy lifestyle behaviors among adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨不同频率的有组织体育参与(OSP)与青少年体力活动、心肺适能、身体成分、睡眠和屏幕时间之间的关系。本研究采用横断面研究设计,共纳入 315 名 16 岁青少年。OSP 由自我报告,分为每周 0 次、每周少于 3 次、每周 4-5 次和每周 6-7 次。屏幕时间也由自我报告,但体力活动和睡眠时间由客观测量。心肺适能和身体成分分别使用最大循环测功仪测试和双能 X 线吸收法(DXA)扫描进行测量。协方差分析显示,OSP 与体力活动(F(3, 286)=14.53,<0.01)、心肺适能(F(3, 236)=17.64,<0.01)、屏幕时间(F(3, 294)=8.14,<0.01)、体脂百分比(F(3, 292)=11.84,<0.01)和去脂体重(F(3, 290)=5.76,<0.01)呈显著相关。但 OSP 与睡眠时间无显著相关性。事后分析显示,每周至少进行 4 次 OSP 有利于提高体力活动水平、心肺适能、减少屏幕时间和改善身体成分,因此可能是对抗青少年不健康生活方式行为的有效工具。
