Current status and influencing factors of scientific fitness literacy among Chinese adult population aged 20～59 years
Objective To investigate the current status of scientific fitness literacy(SFL)and its influencing factors among Chinese adults aged 20-59 years.Methods Totally 63 338 adults aged 20-59 years in the status of national fitness activities in 2020 from 1 January to 31 March 2020 were selected as the subjects,and they were divided into four age groups,namely,the 20-29 age group,the 30-39 age group,the 40-49 age group and the 50-59 age group.Data were analyzed by SPSS 29.0.Comparative analyses for age,gender,urban-rural difference were carried out by applying non-parametric tests,and multiple regression models were applied to find the influencing factors of SFL.Results The SFL score of Chinese adults aged 20-59 years was 53.40(41.67,63.73),and the scores of cognition,attitude,ability and skills,behavior and habits sub-dimensions were 86.11(72.22,100.00),62.96(50.62,75.31),27.78(11.11,44.44)and 33.33(11.11,55.56),respectively.The SFL and the four sub-dimensions were demonstrated to have high-er scores for males than females,and higher scores for adults in urban area than those in rural area(all P＜0.01).The multiple regression results showed that regular exercise at a fitness facility(20-29 age group:β=0.321,t=5.940,P＜0.01;30-39 age group:β=0.187,t=2.937,P＜0.01;40-49 age group:β=0.230,t=3.988,P＜0.01;50-59 age group:β=0.415,t=5.671,P＜0.01)was the Chinese adults'common influence factor on SFL.Motivation,evaluation by those around them,experience from exercising,and convenience and atmosphere of exercising were the main influence factors in the 20-29 and 30-39 age groups(all P＜0.05).Comfort level of fitness venue,convenience,safety,and support of fitness place were the main influence fac-tors in adults aged 40-59 years(all P＜0.05).Conclusions Chinese adults aged 20-59 years old have high SFL awareness scores,but low overall SFL scores.Surrounding people's evaluation,experience in exercise,comfort level of fitness place,convenience,safety and fitness policy support are the influential factors of sci-entific fitness literacy.
