This study aims to investigate the effects of regular physical activity on physical and mental health in male and female high school students. Data were collected from 1350 high school students. Short form- health scale (SF- 12) were used for physical health scores (PCS) and mental health scores (MCS). A physical activity stage of change questionnaire was used for activity level. Results of this study showed that the percentages of physical activity level were 41,6 % for males and 27,72% for females. There were significant differences in the means of MCS and PCS depending on physical activity level in male and females. Significant differences were only observed in the means of age, body height in males not females. PCS and MCS were significantly correlated with physical activity levels in both genders. Regular physical activity is a need to enhance and maintain PCS and MCS. Keywords: Physical activity; physical and mental health ;students

This study presents a new, multidimensional approach to physical activity motivation that is operationalized through four primary factors: adaptive cognitive dimensions, adaptive behavioral dimensions, impeding cognitive dimensions, and maladaptive behavioral dimensions. Among 171 Australian high school students, the study assessed the structure of this four-factor framework (a within-network construct validity approach) and also examined the relationships between motivation and three key correlates: flow in physical activity, physical self-concept, and physical activity level (a between-network construct validity approach). The four-factor framework demonstrated within-network validity in the form of reliable subscales and a sound factor structure. In terms of between-network validity, relationships between the adaptive behavioral and cognitive aspects of motivation and physical self-concept, flow, and activity levels were found to be positive and significant, whereas significant inverse relationships were found between impeding and maladaptive motivation dimensions and flow and physical self-concept. Additional analysis utilizing multiple-indicator multiple-cause (MIMIC) modeling showed that during earlier adolescence girls are more motivated than boys to engage in physical activity, but by later adolescence boys are more motivated to do so. Results are interpreted in terms of future directions for possible physical activity interventions aimed at increasing both the uptake and continuation of activity.

This study assessed the convergent validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A). The PAQ-A is a modified version for high school students of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQC). The PAQ-A is a 7-day recall used to assess general physical activity levels during the school year. Eighty-five high school students in Grades 8 through 12 filled out the PAQ-A and other physical activity measures. The PAQ-A was moderately related to an activity rating (r = .73), the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (r = .57), a Caltrac motion sensor (r = .33), and the 7-day physical activity recall interview (r = .59). The results of this study support the convergent validity of the PAQ-A as a measure of general physical activity level for high school students.

This study examined physical activity level, sport participation, and parental education level in 333 female and 359 male Turkish junior high school students. Student’s physical activity level, sport participation, and parental education level were determined by a questionnaire with three sections. Independent samples t-test results revealed higher physical activity level and chi-square results indicated higher sport participation for boys when compared with girls. In addition significant negative correlations have been found between MET values and father and mother education for the total sample and for female students; however, negative correlations between MET values and parental education were not significant for boys.

Introdução: : Na atualidade, as pessoas são incentivadas a praticar exercícios físicos e a adotar um estilo de vida ativo. Dentre os cursos da área da saúde, a Educação Física é o que apresenta o maior número de universitários com bom nível de atividade física e consequente aptidão física.Objetivo: Comparar a aptidão física, a composição corporal e a autopercepção do nível de atividade física habitual dos alunos do curso de Educação Física da Escola Superior de Educação Física de Jundiaí (ESEF) no primeiro e no último ano de curso.Métodos: Estudo longitudinal com uma amostra por conveniência, do qual participaram 53 alunos do curso de bacharelado em Educação Física, que foram avaliados no primeiro (2015) e no último ano (2018), por meio de anamnese, avaliações em composição corporal e em aptidão física (aptidão cardiorrespiratória, flexibilidade, resistência e força muscular). O teste de t Student pareado foi utilizado para comparar os dados.Resultados: Houve diferenças significativas em peso(kg), +3,8% (p=0,002); IMC(kg/m2) +5% (p=0,00025); RCQ(cm) +4,9% (p= 0,00015); percentual de gordura corporal(%) -14,1%, (p=<0,0001); arremesso de medicine ball(cm) +6,2% (p=0,0006); flexão de braços(repetições) +10,8% (p=0,0051); VO2máx(ml/kg/m), -7,3% (p= 0,0384). Salto Vertical, abdominal(repetições) e flexibilidade não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas.Conclusão: Os alunos apresentaram aumento de massa corporal, redução no percentual de gordura e melhores resultados nos testes de força e resistência muscular dos membros superiores. Entretanto, o desempenho no teste de aptidão cardiorrespiratória piorou ao longo do curso. Os resultados foram discutidos.Physical Fitness, Body Composition and Self-Perception of Physical Activity Level in Physical Education Undergraduates: A Longitudinal Study (2015-2018)Introduction: Nowadays, people are encouraged to exercise and adopt an active lifestyle. Among the courses in the area of health, Physical Education is the one that presents the highest number of university students with a good level of physical activity and consequent physical fitness.Objective: To compare the physical fitness, body composition and self-perception of the habitual physical activity level of the students of the Physical Education course of the Higher School of Physical Education of Jundiaí (ESEF) in the first and last year of the course.Methods: This was a longitudinal study with a sample of convenience, in which 53 students from the baccalaureate degree in Physical Education participated, who were evaluated in the first (2015) and last year (2018), through anamnesis, body composition and physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility, endurance and muscular strength). The paired Student t test was used to compare the data.Results: There were significant differences in weight (kg), + 3.8% (p = 0.002); BMI (kg / m2) + 5% (p = 0.00025); RCQ (cm) + 4.9% (p = 0.00015); percentage of body fat (%) -14.1%, (p = <0.0001); medicine ball pitch (cm) + 6.2% (p = 0.0006); arm flexion (repetitions) + 10.8% (p = 0.0051); VO2max (ml / kg / m), -7.3% (p = 0.0384). Vertical jumping, abdominal (repetitions) and flexibility were not statistically significant differences.Conclusion: The students presented increase of body mass, reduction in fat percentage and better results in tests of strength and muscular endurance of the upper limbs. However, performance in the cardiorespiratory fitness test worsened throughout the course. The results were discussed.
