The current study examined the differences in health-related physical fitness (HRPF), physical activity (PA), and sedentary behavior (SB) between adolescents with and without ongoing respiratory diseases (RD). This study's participants were from 12 to 15 years old (7th-10th grade) in South Korea. Adolescents with RD were selected through RD-related questions (i.e., asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis) ( = 139); in contrast, adolescents without RD, randomly selected from the general group, responded to any health problem-related questions as "No" ( = 139). HRPF was measured based on the FITNESSGRAM and EURO FIT test batteries and the measurements of HRPF included cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. All statistical analyses were conducted by SPSS 25.0, and the independent -test was used to compare the HRPF and PA between the two groups. Moreover, the measured HRPF was compared with a series of analyses of three-way ANOVAs (age × gender × group). Adolescents with RD had a positive association with less participation in PA ( < 0.05; RD: 3081.81 ± 4793.37; general: 2073.64 ± 3123.47) and with more time spent on SB (above 12 h per week: RD group (38.85%) and general group (33.09%)). Furthermore, adolescents in the RD group showed significant effects on all components of HRPF ( < 0.05). Our study confirmed that HRPF is an essential predictor of adolescents' health outcomes, especially for those with RD. We suggest that increased HRPF can be an effective treatment for respiratory diseases in adolescents, and health practitioners should pay more attention to helping adolescents with RD to gain or maintain high HRPF.
本研究旨在探讨患有和不患有持续性呼吸系统疾病（RD）的青少年在与健康相关的体适能（HRPF）、身体活动（PA）和久坐行为（SB）方面的差异。本研究的参与者来自韩国 12 至 15 岁（7 至 10 年级）的青少年。通过与 RD 相关的问题（即哮喘、鼻炎、鼻窦炎和支气管炎）选择 RD 青少年（=139）；相反，从普通组中随机选择不患有 RD 的青少年，对任何与健康问题相关的问题回答“否”（=139）。HRPF 是根据 FITNESSGRAM 和 EURO FIT 测试电池进行测量的，HRPF 的测量包括心血管耐力、肌肉力量、肌肉耐力、柔韧性和身体成分。所有统计分析均使用 SPSS 25.0 进行，独立检验用于比较两组之间的 HRPF 和 PA。此外，还使用三因素方差分析（年龄×性别×组）对测量的 HRPF 进行了一系列分析。患有 RD 的青少年与较少的 PA 参与呈正相关（<0.05；RD：3081.81±4793.37；普通组：2073.64±3123.47），与更多的 SB 时间呈正相关（每周超过 12 小时：RD 组（38.85%）和普通组（33.09%））。此外，RD 组青少年在 HRPF 的所有组成部分都表现出显著的影响（<0.05）。我们的研究证实，HRPF 是青少年健康结果的一个重要预测指标，特别是对于患有 RD 的青少年。我们建议，增加 HRPF 可以成为治疗青少年 RD 的有效方法，健康从业者应更加关注帮助患有 RD 的青少年获得或保持高 HRPF。
