“…PA is an important predictor of self-perceived health in adolescents (24). Thus, results from a review study showed that most of the included cross-sectional studies reveal that high PA is associated with better SRH in adolescents (8,25). Furthermore, only four studies did not report a significant association between physical activity and SRH in children and adolescents, which can be explained by the limitations of the studies' designs (8).…”

BackgroundDespite the positive relationship between self-rated health and general physical activity, very little research has touched upon the relationship between self-rated health and vigorous physical activity. Such research will help to promote self-rated health among adolescents by addressing the close relationship between self-rated health and the components of physical activity.PurposeIn this study, the relationship between self-rated health and vigorous physical activity among Chinese adolescents were analyzed.MethodsThe current study was based on a collaborative survey conducted by the WHO in several nations, and the data generated by Health Behavior in School-aged Children every 4 years on health behavior were adopted. The school class was taken as a basic unit for sampling. Cluster sampling was performed systematically, and the possibility was proportional to the population. The sampling was conducted to collect typical cases. The class teachers were informed of the sampling activities, and they were to collect data on the students by distributing the questionnaires.ResultsThe research included 116,828 respondents from 36 countries. Among them, 51.82% were girls and 48.18% were boys. A total of 98.54% of the respondents considered their health status as fair or above when completing the questionnaire, while 1.46% believed that their health status was poor. Moreover, more than 86% of the respondents participated in vigorous exercise more than weekly, and better self-health ratings were found among respondents who exercised more than weekly (once a week: OR = 1.95, CI: 1.86–2.04; two or three times a week: OR = 1.69, CIL: 1.63–1.76; four or six times a week: OR = 1.30, CI: 1.25–1.35). Certain respondents reported better results for self-rated health (4–6 h every week: OR = 1.36, CI: 1.30–1.43; 2 or 3 h every week: OR = 1.48, CI: 1.42–1.55; 1 h every week: OR = 1.64, CI: 1.57–1.72).ConclusionIn this study, empirical evidence is provided for the relationship between self-rated health and vigorous physical activity among adolescents. From the results, it can be observed that there is a positive relationship between self-rated health and vigorous physical activity among adolescents.

“…Self-rated health (SRH) is a widely used measure in public health to assess an individual’s overall health ( Liu et al, 2023 ; Jylhä, 2009 ; Shi et al, 2022 ). It refers to the perception of one’s health status ( Kastelic et al, 2021 ) and serves as an important indicator of an individual’s general well-being, reflecting not only their physical health but also their mental, emotional, and social health ( Nieminen et al, 2010 ; Vie et al, 2019 ).…”

“…To verify the effects of healthy movement behaviours on health outcomes, it is necessary to further assess the association between meeting the 24-hour movement guidelines and SRH in other countries, such as China. It has been documented that PA, ST and sleep duration are independent factors of SRH in Chinese adolescents ( Chen et al, 2022b ; Shi et al, 2022 ). However, little is known about their integrative association ( i.e., in combination with PA, ST and sleep duration) with SRH.…”

Objective Although much evidence has demonstrated the benefits of adhering to the 24-hour movement guidelines, little is known about their association with self-rated health in adolescents. The objective of this study was to explore the association between adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines (i.e., physical activity, screen time, and sleep) and self-rated health among Chinese adolescents aged 10–17 ages. Methods A convenient sample of 12 schools and their students were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Physical activity and screen time were assessed using a questionnaire based on the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children questionnaire, while sleep duration was used measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Scale. Ordinal logistic regression was performed to examine the association between adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines and self-rated health. Results Adolescents who adhered to more guidelines contained in the 24-hour movement guidelines reported better self-rated health. A dose-response association was observed, with the odds ratio (OR) for adhering to all three = 11.26, 95% CI [4.82–26.35]; OR for meeting two = 1.62, 95% CI [1.25–2.12]; OR for meeting one = 1.16, 95% CI [0.98–1.38]) indicating a higher probability of better self-rated health with increasing adherence. Regarding adherence to specific combination of 24-hour movement guidelines, positive associations were found for adhering to all three recommendations (OR = 11.95, 95% CI [5.06–28.19]), only MVPA (OR = 4.96, 95% CI [2.82–8.72]), MVPA + screen time (OR = 5.50, 95% CI [3.02–9.99]), and MVPA + sleep (OR = 4.63, 95% CI [2.52–8.51]). Conclusion This study provides evidence supporting the association between adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines and better self-rated health among Chinese adolescents. Sufficient physical activity may be particularly important for promoting self-rated health in this population.

“…Life satisfaction is an overall and cognitive appraisal of individuals' life ( 6 , 7 ). Life satisfaction is a crucial component of positive psychology, which can be defined as a subjective sensitivity of the multiple life aspects in people ( 8 – 10 ). Life satisfaction involves a cognitive assessment in humans' whole character of life ( 11 ), which also includes self-satisfaction, family satisfaction, as well as school satisfaction ( 12 ).…”

“…According to the empirical evidence, physical activity (PA) has been regarded as an optative strategy to boost children's and adolescents' mental ( 25 ) and physical health ( 26 , 27 ). Recently, there is evidence showing that higher PA levels are related to children's and adolescents' life satisfaction ( 10 , 28 ). In general, PA and life satisfaction's positive relationship has been reported in several previous studies ( 29 – 32 ).…”

PurposeThe association between overall physical activity (PA) and life satisfaction has been confirmed in adolescents. However, the associations between different forms of PA at various intensities and life satisfaction are under-studied. This study aimed to explore the association between vigorous PA (VPA) and life satisfaction, and whether the associations vary by gender and age.MethodsUsing data from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HSBC) investigation, the research samples of 11- to 15-year-old adolescents were included for further. The information on VPA was collected via two self-reported questions, including frequency per week and hours per week. Life satisfaction was assessed by a ladder of 0–10 scores, with being higher indicating better life satisfaction. Logistic models were carried out to analyse the association between VPA and life satisfaction among adolescents, and results were presented with odd ratio (OR) and associated 95% confidence interval.ResultsAmong the 214,080 (49.2% male) adolescents studied, both boy and girl participants reporting higher frequency of VPA per week were more likely to be associated with higher life satisfaction (e.g., in boys, VPA for every day: OR = 1.054; in girls: VPA for every day: OR = 1.047). More hours of VPA was also associated with better life satisfaction in adolescents (in overall sample, 7 h or more: OR = 1.178).ConclusionsIn conclusion, this research provided evidence on the roles of VPA on life satisfaction among adolescents aged 11–15. Considering life satisfaction is regarded as an indicator of adolescents' psychological health development, our study supports and extends the evidence for the importance of VPA in adolescence.
