Sport and Physical Activity (PA) Special Eurobarometer surveys may inform of the physical inactivity (PIA) levels in the European Union (EU). This study aimed to analyse the PIA levels of EU adolescents (15-17 years) in four time points, according to gender. The data were from 2002, 2005, 20013, and 2017 Special Eurobarometers. Adolescents were categorised as "Inactive" when performing less than 60 min/day of moderate to vigorous PA on average. A χ test was used to compare the levels of PIA between survey years. PIA levels between gender were analysed using a Z-score test for two population proportions. PIA levels ranged from 67.2% for boys (59.4% to 71.5%;) to 76.8% for girls (76.0% to 83.4) across the time points. Adjusted standardised residuals revealed a decrease in the observed levels versus the expected for 2005 (whole sample: -4.2; boys: -3.3) and an increase for 2013 (whole sample: +2.9; boys: +2.5). Boys presented lower PIA levels than girls in all years ( ≤ 0.003), but descriptively, the difference progressively decreased (from 18.4% to 11.8%). No significant reductions in PIA levels were observed between 2002 and 2017, and girls reported consistently higher levels of PIA than boys.
体育和身体活动（PA）特别民意调查可能会反映欧盟（EU）的身体活动不足（PIA）水平。本研究旨在根据性别分析欧盟青少年（15-17 岁）在四个时间点的 PIA 水平。数据来自 2002 年、2005 年、2013 年和 2017 年特别民意调查。当青少年平均每天进行的中等到剧烈 PA 运动少于 60 分钟时，他们被归类为“不活跃”。使用 χ 检验比较调查年份之间的 PIA 水平。使用两个总体比例的 Z 分数检验分析性别之间的 PIA 水平。PIA 水平在男孩（67.2%，59.4%至 71.5%）和女孩（76.8%，76.0%至 83.4%）之间随时间点变化。调整后的标准化残差表明，与预期相比，2005 年观察到的水平下降（总体样本：-4.2；男孩：-3.3），而 2013 年则上升（总体样本：+2.9；男孩：+2.5）。在所有年份中，男孩的 PIA 水平均低于女孩（≤0.003），但从描述性上看，这种差异逐渐缩小（从 18.4%降至 11.8%）。2002 年至 2017 年期间，PIA 水平没有明显下降，女孩报告的 PIA 水平始终高于男孩。
