Is Participation in After-School Physical Activity Associated with Increased Total Physical Activity? A Study of High School Pupils in the Czech Republic - Online

Original language description

This study assessed the physical activity (PA) levels and its variability across days, months and seasons of 2 groups of high school pupils: those who did and those who did not participate in regular organized after-school physical activity (ASPA). 13 pupils wore pedometers continuously for one school-year, logged their step counts into brochures and were interviewed for information about their participation in any ASPA. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that regardless of the day, month andseason, ASPA pupils achieved significantly more mean step counts/day than the non-ASPA pupils. There were no significant fluctuations across months and seasons in PA levels of ASPA pupils comparing to non-ASPA pupils. We conclude that regular organisedASPA might increase the pupils' total PA levels; and could help to maintain a relatively constant PA level for adolescents across the whole school-year regardless of the influences of weather and meteorological indicators related to month
