The Safety of the Neighborhood Environment and Physical Activity in Czech and Polish Adolescents

Abstract: (1) Background: An increase in or at least the sustainment of walking activities across a wide section of the population is a crucial health-related task for Central and East European countries. The aim of this study was to assess the associations between adolescents’ walking activities and various levels of perceived safety of the built environment in differing socio-demographic backgrounds of Poland and the Czech Republic. Furthermore, we aimed to determine major moderators affecting the walking habits of ad… Show more

“…Its use for adolescents aged 15-17 significantly correlated for time spent in active travel, for moderate and vigorous activities as well as for total physical activity [39,40]. Both versions were subject to the required translation procedure according to the 'EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) Quality of Life Group' [41] and empirically verified in international comparative studies [26,42]. Among the several types of PA measured, the IPAQ-LF includes transport PA (cycling and walking activities for at least 10 minutes at a time to go from place to place).…”

“…The continuity of the preferred type of AT and the safety of the environment for the preferred AT should be conducive to particular physical, social, emotional, but also environmental WB, thereby increasing the chances of sustaining and amplifying adolescent WB. This is likely to be supported in adolescent age, especially in physically and socially friendly, timesaving and safe environments [26]. The current young people's initiatives to combat climate change are increasing the likelihood of them supporting these positive changes as well.…”

“…Regardless of the specific daily step count recommendation, it is necessary to be aware of and respect geographic, socioeconomic, educational, national, and health specifics and sport preferences. The environment in Central Europe can be considered still acceptably walkable for adolescents, in spite of drawbacks related to transportation infrastructure and urbanism, such as heavy traffic, speeding, and lack of pedestrian-friendly crossings [58]. Traditionally high rates of adolescents involved in organised leisure-time PA in Poland [30] and the Czech Republic [22] as well as in Eastern Europe (e.g.…”

“…For example, factors such as street connectivity, land use and distance to local destination have been found to be associated with both transport and leisure-time PA, but other factors, such as proximity to parks and safety from crime tend to show stronger associations with leisure-time PA [10][11][12]. Nonetheless, most previous research was conducted in the USA, Europe, or Australia [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Considering the distinct features of Latin American countries, it is not possible to directly translate ndings from other countries (e.g., the USA or European countries) to this region.…”
