Moreover, there are no universal methods for presenting information or arguments in support of particular point of view, and their specific is heavily dependent on the audience type the impact is made on. The interest in the subject of research is due to the special role of social values in the social characteristics system of society and man. Social values are not only among the main components of motivation for human activity, but also, to a great extent, determine the specificity of the cognition of the surrounding reality by individuals. At the same time, advertising is one of the main tools of psychological influence on mass consciousness today. Advertising is a means of informing, social attitudes changing and people behavior. Ultimately, the main effectiveness criteria for this advertisement is the appropriate human behavior according to advertisement's goals. However, the advertising product is not material in this case-it is such values as life, love, family relationships and health.

Body image and body composition may play an important role not only in directly facilitating adolescents' PA but also in enabling environment-related factors. As evidence is lacking, we aimed to assess the associations of adolescents' PA with body-related and environment-related factors, whether this differs by age and gender, and whether these factors interact. Methods: We used data on 888 11-to 15-year-old adolescents (mean age ¼ 13.5, 56% boys) from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia. We used multinomial logistic regression analysis to assess the association of adolescents' PA with body-related factors (body image, body composition) and environmentrelated factors (PA-promoting environment, less leisure constraints), taking into account age and gender. Results: Adolescents who perceived their body as not too fat were more likely to be physically very active rather than inactive [odds ratios (ORs)/95% confidence interval (CI) 2.15/1.44-3.22], and similarly those who were not overweight/obese (3.24/2.09-5.01) and perceived less leisure constraints (1.74/1.44-2.11). In older adolescents and in girls, the association of adolescents' PA with body composition and environment-related factors was stronger. The association of adolescents' PA with perceiving less leisure constraints was stronger among adolescents who did not perceive their body as too fat (OR/95% CI 1.98/1.26-3.14), and for those who were not overweight/obese (OR/95% CI 1.62/1.01-2.57). Conclusion: Adolescents' PA is associated with both body-related and environmentrelated factors. These associations are stronger in girls and older adolescents, if co-occurring.

Body-related factors such as body composition and cardiovascular fitness (CVF) may affect adolescents’ vulnerability to injuries. As evidence is lacking, we aimed to explore the associations of medically attended injuries with adolescents’ physical activity (PA) and body-related factors, and whether these associations are modified by age, gender and family affluence.MethodsWe used data on 888 11- to 15-year-old adolescents (mean age = 13.5, 56% boys) from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia.

The current standard approach of assessing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) every day does this inadequately. The aim of this study is to explore whether three other indicators of adolescents’ PA can identify such risk groups in a better way. Methods We used data on 888 11- to 15-year-old adolescents (mean age = 13.5, 56% boys) from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia. Sufficient PA was indicated by the following four indicators: (i) MVPA every day, (ii) MVPA 5–7 days a week, (iii) engagement in organized sports (team or individual) and (iv) combining MVPA 5–7 days a week and engagement in organized sports. We used binary logistic regression analysis to assess the association of various indicators of adolescents’ PA with body composition, cardiovascul...

Methods As a part of the pilot study of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study conducted in October and November 2021 in Slovakia, we surveyed 119 adolescents (53 girls; average age 12,6±2,0) for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), medically attended injuries (MAI), physical activity-related injuries in sports clubs (PARISC), physical activity-related injuries in leisure-time (PARILT) and physical activity-related injuries in schools (PARIS) and we measured their cardiorespiratory fitness (using 20-metre shuttle run) and their body composition (using InBody 230). Results Out of 119 adolescents, 50 (42%) were attending sports clubs of which 27 (54%) had one or more PARI in sports clubs' activities in previous year, 50 adole...

Previous studies have shown that BMI as a measure of obesity can introduce important misclassification problems. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of overweight and obesity classification based on self-reported and on measured height and weight versus the proportion of body fat as the criterion. Methods: We used data on 782 adolescents (mean age = 13.5, 55.8% boys) from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia. We obtained self-reported (height and weight) and objective measures (height, weight) and the proportion of fat (as the criterion measure) measured via bioimpedance body composition analysis (BIA) with an InBody 230 from the adolescents. Results: Both measured and self-reported BMI indicated overweight and obesity with relatively low sensitivity (66–82%), but high specificity ...
