This study aims to examine the geographical variation in physical fitness levels among Chinese children and adolescents in Shaanxi province. A total of 19,175 children from Shaanxi province with physical fitness data in 2019, participated in the study. Physical fitness was assessed using body mass index, force vital capacity, 50 m sprint, sit and reach, 1 min rope skipping, sit-ups, 50 m × 8 round-trip running, standing long jump, pull-ups, 800 m, and 1000 m running, and their standardized scores were aggregated to form a summary score. The total score is used to classify the physical fitness levels into four grades (excellence to failure). The Guanzhong (GZ) region scored the highest, while Northern Shaanxi (NS) scored the lowest. The excellence rate for physical fitness was highest in GZ and lowest in NS, while the failure rate was highest in NS and lowest in GZ. Notably, children and adolescents in NS demonstrated the best endurance levels despite their overall lower fitness scores. The comprehensive physical fitness among Chinese children and adolescents in Shaanxi province showed significant regional disparities. GZ region exhibited the highest physical fitness levels, while Northern Shaanxi had the lowest. Region-specific interventions and targeted health policies are essential to address these disparities and improve the overall physical health status of children and adolescents in Shaanxi province.
本研究旨在调查陕西省中国儿童和青少年身体素质水平的地域差异。共有19175名来自陕西省且拥有2019年身体素质数据的儿童参与了该研究。身体素质通过体重指数、用力肺活量、50米短跑、坐位体前屈、1分钟跳绳、仰卧起坐、50米×8往返跑、立定跳远、引体向上、800米和1000米跑步进行评估，其标准化分数汇总形成一个综合分数。该总分用于将身体素质水平分为四个等级（优秀到不及格）。关中（GZ）地区得分最高，而陕北（NS）得分最低。身体素质优秀率在GZ地区最高，在NS地区最低，而不及格率在NS地区最高，在GZ地区最低。值得注意的是，尽管NS地区儿童和青少年的总体身体素质得分较低，但他们的耐力水平最佳。陕西省中国儿童和青少年的综合身体素质存在显著的地域差异。GZ地区身体素质水平最高，而陕北地区最低。针对特定地区的干预措施和有针对性的健康政策对于解决这些差异以及改善陕西省儿童和青少年的整体身体健康状况至关重要。
