This study aimed to assess the levels and investigate socioeconomic, demographic, and health-related predictors of winter and summer physical activity (PA) in Russia using the data from the Know Your Heart population survey conducted in Novosibirsk and Arkhangelsk (2015-2018; n = 5068; aged 35-69 years). Employing a series of probit, Tobit, and the Cragg models, we separated the predictors of the probability of participating in leisure-time PA from the predictors of time spent in PA. Our study showed that financial constraints limited males' participation in winter PA (probability of participation decreased by 12 percentage points) and females' engagement in winter and summer PA (decrease in the number of hours of practicing PA by approximately 1 h a week). Education, self-reported health, smoking, and cues to action had different impacts on both probability and time spent in PA in winter and summer. We also found significant gender differences in participation and time spent in PA across seasons. Older age, poor health, and smoking were greater obstacles to PA for males compared to females both in winter and summer. However, males were more likely to follow physician's advice to lose weight and take up physical exercise. Information campaigns that promote physical activities, including those that are free of charge, are needed to help limit barriers to PA for people with low socioeconomic status and individuals with little or no exercise experience. Also, making sports more accessible to citizens by providing free and low-cost sports facilities can increase their participation and time spent in PA, improving individual health and productivity.
本研究旨在利用 2015-2018 年在新西伯利亚和阿尔汉格尔斯克进行的“了解你的心脏”人群调查（n=5068，年龄 35-69 岁）的数据，评估俄罗斯冬夏两季体力活动（PA）水平，并探讨其社会经济、人口统计学和与健康相关的预测因素。采用一系列概率单位、Tobit 和 Cragg 模型，我们将参与休闲时间 PA 的预测因素与 PA 时间花费的预测因素分开。我们的研究表明，财务限制限制了男性冬季 PA 的参与（参与概率降低了 12 个百分点）和女性冬季和夏季 PA 的参与（每周从事 PA 的时间减少了大约 1 小时）。教育、自我报告的健康状况、吸烟和行动提示对冬季和夏季 PA 的参与概率和时间都有不同的影响。我们还发现，男女在各季节的参与度和 PA 时间花费存在显著的性别差异。与女性相比，年龄较大、健康状况较差和吸烟对男性冬季和夏季的 PA 更具阻碍性。然而，男性更有可能听从医生的建议来减肥和进行体育锻炼。需要开展促进体育活动的宣传活动，包括免费的宣传活动，以帮助限制社会经济地位较低的人和缺乏运动经验的人参与 PA 的障碍。此外，通过提供免费和低成本的体育设施，使体育活动更容易被公民接受，可以提高他们的参与度和 PA 时间，改善个人健康和生产力。
