“…Recognition of PA preferences is therefore important for increasing participation in OPA and increasing PA in children and adolescents. Girls prefer swimming and dancing, boys prefer swimming, martial arts and team sports [32,55]. Based on previous research, it was also found that Polish adolescents significantly prefer team sports and participation in team sports in the context of OPA [33].…”

“…Adolescents' participation in OPA is associated with a higher level of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) and vigorous PA (VPA) [28], as well as meeting the MVPA recommendations [29], especially among girls [30]. There are significant gender differences in OPA participation, differences related to preferred forms of PA [15,31,32,33] and the importance of OPA for total PA. Studies show that PA preferences differ not only between boys and girls, but also change more frequently among girls than boys [33]. From a study conducted on adolescents aged 11 -19 years [32], it appears that swimming was the most popular sport in both genders; however, the order of other most popular choices in boys were martial arts, and team sports (e.g.…”

“…Team sports were less popular than among boys. Half of the interviewed boys and girls played sports with a frequency of two to four sessions per week [32]. Girls were less active than boys and OPA programmes for girls significantly increased their daily PA [34].…”

Introduction andObjective. Organized physical activity (OPA) is an important part of adolescents' physical activity (PA). The aim of the study is to determine differences between secondary school students and sports science students at the university participation in OPA, and to recommend a strategy to increase the active participation of adolescents in OP, and improve the education of sports specialists. Materials and method. The study was carried out continuously during 2010-2020 at 71 secondary schools in the Silesian region and at the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, Poland. A total of 3,510 students participated in the study (2,199 secondary school students and 1,311 sports science students). To determine participation in OPA, the Physical Activity Preference Questionnaire was used, and to determine the level of weekly PA, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used.Results. The largest representation in the OPA was in school (21.1%) and university (30.7%) boys in soccer, and in school (13.7%) and university (33.4%) girls in volleyball. Schoolboys participating in OPA ≥5 lessons had statistically significantly more school PA, recreation PA, vigorous and total PA than boys not participating in OPA. University boys and girls were alike in vigorous PA. School (3.35 times) and university (1.73 times) boys and school (3.93 times) and university (5.08 times) girls were more likely to meet the PA recommendations. Conclusions. Active participation in the OPA of school and university boys and girls is significantly associated with a higher level of weekly PA, and likelihood to meet the PA recommendations. The greatest attention should focused on promotion of the participation in OPA in non-participating school boys and girls, as well as non-participating students at universities, as part of their professional training.

Introduction andObjective. Participation of adolescents in organized physical activity (PA), together with physical education, is essential for the development of a habit of regular PA, achievement of PA recommendations and adoption of physical literacy. The aim of the study is to identify the trends and differences in PA levels between adolescents participating in organized team PA, organized individual PA, and those not participating in organized PA. Another aim is to formulate proposals to eliminate the negative effects of the pandemic on adolescents' participation in organized PA. Materials and method. The research took place between 2012-2021 in 51 secondary schools and involved a total of 1,202 boys and 1,561 girls. Participation in organized PA was examined using the 'Sports preferences survey'. Weekly PA was investigated by means of the 'International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form'. Results. The results confirmed the negative trend in participation in organized PA. However, this was predominantly caused by the negative effects of the pandemic in 2020-2021. Boys participating in organized team and individual PA had more school PA, recreation PA, vigorous PA, moderate PA and overall PA during the week, compared with boys not participating in organized PA (girls had more vigorous PA, moderate PA and overall PA). Conclusions. Participation in organized team PA and individual PA plays an important role, primarily in supporting vigorous PA but also in overall weekly PA among boys and girls. The negative effects of the pandemic should be eliminated by increasing adolescents' participation in various forms of organized PA with an emphasis on organized individual PA which can be regularly pursued, even under restrictive measures at home, in the countryside or in nature.
