Construction and Validation of a Path Model for the Social Ecological Influencing Factors of Extracurricular Physical Activities among Urban Adolescents in China
In order to explore the socio-ecological factors that affect urban adolescents'out-of-school physical activity,a multi-stage probability-scale proportional sampling method was used to investigate 10,531 urban adolescents in different regions of China.Through exploratory factor analysis and the construction and testing of partial least squares path model,it is found that the social and ecological factors affecting the physical activities of urban teenagers outside school are diverse,which come from different levels of macro,meso and micro social ecosystems,among which the micro level factors include the age of teenagers,depression level,their knowledge of medical health promotion,their ability to participate in physical activities of different intensity,whether suffer from hypertension or diabetes,etc;The medium level factors mainly involve parents'employment status,community security,community sports activities,social exchanges of sports activities,social sports activities outside the community,etc.The macro level factors are mainly the cities where they live,while the policy has not yet become the main factor affecting the teenagers'out-of-school physical activity,mainly because of the policy and document obviously lagging behind the field of school sports.It is suggested that in the future,the community should be regarded as an important place for out-of-school physical activity intervention for urban adolescents in China and the intervention should be combined with individual psychological assessment.The government,community and family should be relied on to implement multidimensional intervention on the basis of optimizing relevant social ecological factors.
