Abstract

Objective To investigate the current status of physical activity (PA) and its influencing factors among junior high school students in Shanxi Province, China, in order to provide evidence for promoting PA participation. Methods From February to July 2024, a stratified random sampling method was used to recruit 532 junior high school students from 8 secondary schools in Taiyuan, Lyuliang, Yuncheng, Jincheng, and Datong cities of Shanxi Province.PA levels were objectively measured using ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers, and data were processed using ActiLife software (version 6.13.6).Chi-square tests were used to compare PA compliance rates across different demographic groups, and binary logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with meeting PA recommendations. Results The compliance rate with PA recommendations among junior high school students in Shanxi Province was 17.1%.Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that male gender (OR=8.58, 95%CI: 4.73 - 15.57, P<0.05) and non-boarding school status (OR=1.95, 95%CI: 1.11 - 3.43, P<0.05) were significant positive predictors of meeting PA recommendations. Conclusions The compliance rate with PA recommendations among junior high school students in Shanxi Province remains suboptimal.Gender and boarding school status are identified as key determinants of PA participation.Targeted interventions should be implemented to enhance overall PA engagement, particularly for female students and boarding school students.
