METHODS: Study participants were students (n = 1147; 11.27 [±0.32] years at baseline) attending public schools in Finland. Data were collected yearly (2017-2021). The 20 m shuttle run assessed CRF, curl-up/push-up tests assessed MF, and the enjoyment subscale of the Sport Commitment Questionnaire-2 measured PE enjoyment. The random intercept cross-lagged panel model, including repeated measures (within-level) and latent levels (between-level) of PE enjoyment, CRF and MF, was tested. Sex, body mass index, moderate to vigorous PA, and peak height velocity were included as covariates in the analysis.
RESULTS: Over 5 years, PE enjoyment decreased, CRF increased until Timepoint 3, and MF remained stable. Positive associations between PE enjoyment and fitness were observed, indicating the greater the PE enjoyment, the higher the fitness. For PE enjoyment, CRF and MF repeated measures were positively associated with measurement of the next year. PE enjoyment was positively related to CRF and MF the years thereafter.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the importance of quality PE experiences for enjoyment and fitness gains during the transition from primary to secondary school. These findings are important given youth fitness levels are associated with future health status.
方法:研究参与者是芬兰公立学校的学生(n=1147;基线为11.27[±0.32]年)。数据每年收集一次(2017-2021年)。20米航天飞机运行评估了CRF,卷曲/俯卧撑测试评估MF,体育承诺问卷2的享受子量表测量了体育享受。随机截距交叉滞后面板模型,包括体育享受的重复测量(水平内)和潜在水平(水平间),CRF和MF,经过测试。性,身体质量指数,中度至剧烈的PA,和峰值高度速度作为协变量包括在分析中。
结果:超过5年,体育享受减少,CRF增加直到时间点3,并且MF保持稳定。观察到体育享受和健身之间的正相关,表明体育享受越多,健身度越高。为了体育享受,CRF和MF重复测量与下一年的测量呈正相关。此后几年,体育享乐与CRF和MF呈正相关。
结论:我们的发现强调了在从小学到中学的过渡过程中,高质量的体育体验对于享受和健身收益的重要性。考虑到青少年的健康水平与未来的健康状况有关,这些发现很重要。
