Sociocultural Correlates of Physical Activity in Adolescents

Abstract: This study examined the relative contributions of sex, social class, socioeconomic status of the family, and exercise behavior of significant others (father, mother, sister, brother, best friend) to the variability of physical activities of 13–15-year-old urban adolescents (N = 475). Physical activity was measured using 7-day physical activity recall. Family income was negatively correlated with physical activity of adolescents. Physical activity of the father, older brother, and best friend was associated wit… Show more

“…The large variance contributed by the demographic-variables block, 15% and 31% in winter and summer, respectively, is worth noting. The negative correlation between physical activity and gender found in this study confirms previous research findings that girls' physical activity must be targeted for special intervention programs in order to increase their physical activity levels (20,14,15). The significant contribution of school location in the summer measurement suggests that intervention programs to promote physical activity should also consider geographical location.…”

“…Environmental variables studied included time spent outside (1,21), television watching (14), access to exercise equipment at home (14,24), and sports-club attendance (27). Social variables associated with physical activity included parents transporting their children to places where they can be physically active (21) and physical activity of best friends and other family members (15). Regarding demographic variables, a recent review (20) classified gender as a consistent correlate of physical activity.…”

“…Uwarunkowaniem społeczno-ekonomicznym najczęściej wymienianym w ujętych publikacjach był status socjoekonomiczny. Wśród miar, według których szacowano SES, znalazły się: skala zasobów materialnych rodziny (Lazzeri et al 2014), uprawnienie do pobierania darmowych posiłków (Farmer, Hanratty 2012), profesja ojca (Thibault et al 2009), wykształce-nie rodziców (Ferreira et al 2006), status zawodowy rodziców (Haug et al 2006), pozycja społeczna rodzica o wyższym stanowisku (Raudsepp, Viira 2000), wykształcenie matki (Gordon-Larsen et al 2000) i dochód rodziny (Ferreira et al 2006;Haug et al 2006;Raudsepp, Viira 2000;Gordon-Larsen et al 2000).…”

“…W przypadku rodziny i bliskiego otoczenia miarami wyrażającymi zmienną były: wsparcie ze strony rodziców i przyjaciół (Cazuza de Farias Júnior et al 2014), komunikacja z rodzicami (Farmer, Hanratty 2012), relacje z rodziną i stopień kontroli rodzicielskiej , wpływ rodziców na organizację czasu wolnego (Brooks et al 2012), nadwaga/otyłość i aktywność fizyczna rodziców (Thibault et al 2009), aktywność fizyczna obojga rodziców i najlepszego przyjaciela (Raudsepp, Viira 2000). Jedynie w jednej z analizowanych publikacji podjęto próbę oceny wpływu wsparcia społecznego ujmowanego w kontekście poczucia przynależności do zbiorowości (Brooks et al 2012).…”
