Abstract

BACKGROUND

Adolescent physical activity levels are low and are shown to decline with age into adulthood. Emerging literature suggests these trends were exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic. We aimed to understand, from the perspective of adolescents living in deprived communities, whether the Covid-19 pandemic influenced their physical behaviour and explore their ideas for physical activity promotion moving forward.

METHODS

Purposive sampling was used to recruit older adolescents (13-18-year-old) living in one of the 20% most deprived areas in the UK, as defined by the UK Index of Multiple Deprivation. A mix of in-person and online one-to-one semi-structured interviews were conducted between July 2021- March 2022. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and anonymised. Data were imported into Nvivo software and analysed drawing on Braun and Clarke's six phases of thematic analysis.

RESULTS

The sample consisted of 16 adolescents and included a mix of genders. The following themes were generated during the data analysis: (1) Physical activity behaviour in everyday life (prepandemic), (2) The impact of Covid-19 on physical activity (during) and (3) Young people's ideas about physical activity promotion (moving forward). Participants described themselves as inactive, with their activity limited to active travel, informal activity and physical education. Experiences of the pandemic were largely negative, impacting participants' physical and mental health. Ideas around physical activity promotion ranged from the individual to the societal level.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings suggest the Covid-19 pandemic had a major impact on young people living in the context of socioeconomic deprivation. Physical activity promotion efforts should focus on school-based opportunities and the provision of safe and low-cost opportunities in socioeconomically deprived areas. As we aim to build back from the Covid-19 pandemic, supporting young people living in socioeconomically deprived communities should be prioritised.

摘要

背景

青少年的身体活动水平较低，并且随着年龄的增长，这种水平在成年后呈下降趋势。新出现的文献表明，在新冠疫情期间，这些趋势有所加剧。我们旨在从生活在贫困社区的青少年的角度了解新冠疫情是否影响了他们的身体行为，并探讨他们对未来促进身体活动的想法。

方法

采用目的抽样法招募了居住在英国最贫困地区 20%地区（由英国多重贫困指数定义）的年龄较大的青少年（13-18 岁）。2021 年 7 月至 2022 年 3 月期间，通过线上和线下一对一的半结构化访谈进行了招募。访谈进行了录音，逐字记录并匿名处理。将数据导入 Nvivo 软件，并采用 Braun 和 Clarke 的六阶段主题分析方法进行分析。

结果

样本由 16 名青少年组成，包括不同性别。数据分析生成了以下主题：（1）日常生活中的身体活动行为（疫情前），（2）新冠疫情对身体活动的影响（疫情期间），（3）青少年对身体活动促进的想法（疫情后）。参与者形容自己不活跃，他们的活动仅限于积极的出行、非正式的活动和体育教育。对疫情的体验大多是负面的，影响了他们的身心健康。身体活动促进的想法从个人层面到社会层面都有涉及。
