Secular trends: a ten-year comparison of the amount and type of physical activity and inactivity of random samples of adolescents in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Although PA declines with age have been demonstrated repeatedly, few studies have been carried out on secular trends. The present study assessed levels, types and secular trends of PA and sedentary behaviour of a sample of adolescents in the Czech Republic.METHODS: The analysis compared data collected through a week-long monitoring of adolescents' PA in 1998-2000 and 2008-2010. In total 410 boys; 492 girls aged 14-18 were eligible for analysis.RESULTS:Overweight and obesity in Czech adolescents participating in this study increased from 5.5% (older cohort, 1998-2000) to 10.4% (younger cohort, 2008-2010). Adolescents' PA levels for the monitored periods of 1998-2000 and 2008-2010 suggest a secular decrease in the weekly number of steps achieved by adolescent boys and girls.CONCLUSION: Sedentary behaviour seems relatively stable across the two cohorts as the increased time that the younger cohort (2008-2010). The findings show a secular decrease in PA amongst adolescents.
