The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and distance education has significantly affected adolescents' lives. The restrictive policies negatively affected their physical and mental health and life satisfaction. It is therefore desirable to look for ways to eliminate similar negative impacts on adolescents in the future. This study aimed to identify the differences in the association between physical activity and life satisfaction in Polish adolescents before and during the pandemic. The study included 1541 participants (891 before the pandemic and 650 during the pandemic) aged 15-19 years. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form questionnaire was used to assess physical activity, and the Bern Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire was used to evaluate life satisfaction. The objectivity of data collection and analysis before and during the pandemic was ensured by the web application the International Database for Research and Educational Support. During the pandemic, we found lower physical activity and life satisfaction in both boys and girls compared to before the pandemic. Girls with low and high physical activity levels showed significantly lower life satisfaction during the pandemic than they did before. Low life satisfaction was associated with lower physical activity, and high life satisfaction was associated with greater total physical activity. Both boys and girls with low and high life satisfaction achieved significantly fewer physical activity recommendations during the pandemic. High life satisfaction increased the likelihood of meeting the recommendations for physical activity before and during the pandemic. This study provides new insights into the differences and associations between life satisfaction and physical activity in adolescent boys and girls before and during the pandemic. It provides suggestions for the prevention of possible future restrictions in the school settings. Support for post-pandemic life satisfaction in adolescents should focus mainly on increasing vigorous physical activity and improving adolescent participation in organized physical activity settings.
新冠疫情和远程教育的负面影响显著影响了青少年的生活。限制政策对他们的身心健康和生活满意度产生了负面影响。因此，有必要寻找方法来消除未来对青少年的类似负面影响。本研究旨在确定波兰青少年在疫情之前和期间体育活动与生活满意度之间关联的差异。该研究纳入了1541名15至19岁的参与者（疫情前891名，疫情期间650名）。使用国际体力活动问卷长表来评估体育活动，使用伯尔尼主观幸福感问卷来评估生活满意度。通过网络应用程序“国际研究与教育支持数据库”确保了疫情之前和期间数据收集与分析的客观性。在疫情期间，我们发现与疫情之前相比，男孩和女孩的体育活动和生活满意度都较低。体育活动水平低和高的女孩在疫情期间的生活满意度显著低于疫情之前。低生活满意度与较低的体育活动相关，高生活满意度与更高的总体体育活动相关。生活满意度低和高的男孩和女孩在疫情期间达到体育活动建议的次数都显著减少。高生活满意度增加了在疫情之前和期间达到体育活动建议的可能性。本研究为疫情之前和期间青少年男孩和女孩生活满意度与体育活动之间的差异和关联提供了新的见解。它为预防未来学校环境中可能出现的限制提供了建议。对青少年疫情后生活满意度的支持应主要集中在增加剧烈体育活动和提高青少年参与有组织的体育活动方面。
