Physical activity (PA) consists of multiple domains, including leisure-time PA (LTPA), occupational PA (OPA), and transportation PA (TPA), though limited research has examined these domains among college students.
This cross sectional, online survey asked undergraduate students to self-report demographics (gender, race/ethnicity, employment) and PA (LTPA, TPA, and OPA). Participants were categorized as meeting/not meeting current aerobic PA recommendations with only LTPA and with all domains of PA. Analyses examined differences by domain and demographics.
For participants ( = 3732) when only considering LTPA, 79% met recommendations, while considering all forms of PA resulted in 94% of students meeting recommendations. Gender and race/ethnicity differences in the odds of meeting PA recommendations were present with only LTPA, however when considering all PA domains, some disparities were no longer present.
These findings highlight how different domains of activity contribute to overall PA and the relationship with gender and race/ethnicity.
身体活动(PA)由多个领域组成,包括休闲时间身体活动(LTPA)、职业身体活动(OPA)和交通身体活动(TPA),不过针对大学生这些领域的研究有限。
这项横断面在线调查要求本科生自行报告人口统计学信息(性别、种族/民族、就业情况)和身体活动情况(LTPA、TPA和OPA)。参与者被分类为仅通过LTPA以及通过所有身体活动领域是否达到当前有氧身体活动建议。分析研究了不同领域和人口统计学特征之间的差异。
对于参与者(n = 3732),仅考虑LTPA时,79%的人达到建议,而考虑所有形式的身体活动时,94%的学生达到建议。仅LTPA时,达到身体活动建议的几率存在性别和种族/民族差异,然而考虑所有身体活动领域时,一些差异不再存在。
这些发现凸显了不同活动领域如何对总体身体活动产生影响以及与性别和种族/民族的关系。
