School physical activity in lifestyle of secondary school students

Original language description

Insufficient physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour and increasing mental load of secondary school students is a crucial worldwide problem affecting health, social, economic, and education spheres. Our study explores the structure of school PA and PA in school days as a compensation for school sedentary behaviour and mental load of students. We carried out the research in Czech and Polish secondary schools. The ActiTrainer accelerometers, Digi-Walker SW700 pedometers and recording sheets were used to monitor PA volume and intensity. This triangle monitoring approach allowed us to objectify the intensity of school PA (counts, heart rate, METs, steps). The average ratio of school PA within daily PA was 31.8% in boys (30.6% in girls) according to steps mean, 29.9% in boys (26.7% in girls) according to MVPA minutes, 31.1% in boys (32.6% in girls) according to minutes spent above 60% of HRmax, and 37.8% in boys (33.9% in girls) according to minutes of total PA. Boys and girls with high mental load in the lessons do not compensate for this load by more PA during recess than those with low mental load. Similarly, more sedentary students compared to less sedentary students do not compensate for their sedentary behaviour in school by neither higher volume nor intensity of PA during recesses, after school or within daily PA. Increasing the level of school PA and improving students' lifestyle in a school day is supported by participation in PE lessons rather than by extension of cumulative time of recesses. School is an irreplaceable environment for establishing the habit of compensating for physical inactivity and mental load in the lessons by PA. Acquiring this habit is to be supported by sufficient physical literacy of students and teachers and changes of school programme.
