Author(s): Dr. Rajarshi Kar
Abstract:The purpose of the study was to analyse physical activity habits of male and female adolescents from urban area. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to collect responses from 799 adolescents (451 girls and 348 boys) on duration of daily moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA), weekly aerobic activity, weekly muscle strength activities and weekly bone strength activities. Results indicated that in all four variables related to physical activity, both boys and girls were lower than the recommended guidelines. Independent sample t-tests reveal that in comparison to girls, boys participate in more moderate- to vigorous-intensity daily physical activity and weekly aerobic activity.
