Systematic monitoring of physical activity of young populations from different regions may be useful for making international comparisons, better understanding trends in physical activity and designing public health interventions to increase physical activity. Thus, the aim of the study was to comprehensively review studies examining the level of physical activity of children and adolescents from the Visegrád countries, and indicate the percentage of children and adolescents meeting the recommended level of physical activity.
A systematic search of the published literature was conducted. Included were reports with original research that consisted of the proportion of children and adolescents who met physical activity recommendations or guidelines. To provide a current picture of physical activity of children and adolescents, the review was restricted to studies published between January 2015 - November 2018.
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity recommendations were met by between 7.5% - 69.4% of children and adolescents. Vigorous physical activity recommendations were met by between 33.6% - 64.5% of children and adolescents. Daily recommendations for the number of steps taken were fulfilled by between 11.6% - 69.0% of children and adolescents. Differences between age categories, genders and countries were observed.
Public health interventions to increase physical activity are required to decrease insufficient levels of physical activity in children and adolescents, especially in girls. The review also highlights the need for studies with representative random samples that use validated measurement methods.
对来自不同地区的年轻人群的体力活动进行系统监测，可能有助于进行国际比较，更好地了解体力活动趋势，并设计公共卫生干预措施来增加体力活动。因此，本研究的目的是全面审查检查捷克斯洛伐克、波兰、匈牙利和克罗地亚（Visegrád 国家）儿童和青少年体力活动水平的研究，并指出达到推荐体力活动水平的儿童和青少年的百分比。
对已发表的文献进行了系统搜索。包括具有原始研究的报告，这些报告由符合体力活动建议或指南的儿童和青少年比例组成。为了提供儿童和青少年体力活动的最新情况，本综述仅限于 2015 年 1 月至 2018 年 11 月期间发表的研究。
符合中等至剧烈体力活动建议的儿童和青少年比例在 7.5% 至 69.4%之间。符合剧烈体力活动建议的儿童和青少年比例在 33.6%至 64.5%之间。符合每天推荐步数的儿童和青少年比例在 11.6%至 69.0%之间。观察到了年龄类别、性别和国家之间的差异。
需要采取公共卫生干预措施来增加体力活动，以减少儿童和青少年体力活动不足的情况，尤其是在女孩中。该综述还强调了需要进行具有代表性的随机抽样研究，并使用经过验证的测量方法。
