Pano G, Markola L. 14-18 Years old children attitudes, perception and motivation towards extra curricular physical activity and sport. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 7, No. Proc1, pp. S51-S66, 2012. Factors affecting children's attitudes towards physical activity (PA) and physical education are complex and mediated by a range of variables such as social class, gender and race; body image and physical identity. 1062 highschool students (465 B and 597 G) 14-18 years old from 6 different Public high schools of Albania have fulfilled a questionnaire (EC DG EA), during January-June 2011 (only 6 questions were considered relevant). The aim was to reveal the 14.18 years old students attitudes and perception towards PA and Sport. Results show that: 14.21% e the subject's engage with PA and sport regularly despite their PA school program. 39% engage with one kind of PA or sport during the week and also 36% are active rarely. B have a higher activation indicator (19.78%) compared with G (9.88%). They are active mostly "for fun" with 35.87% and for "improving their physical image" with 33.08%. Lack of free time (53.57%) and the lack of sport facilities (20.43%) are the main reasons why they don't engage with PA and sport despite their sport school program. There is a lack of information regarding the benefits of participation in PA and sport for this age. It is very necessary that the local or governmental authorities to create extracurricular PA programs and to offer more sport facilities and opportunities for this group-age. More studies focused on this group age are necessary in order to evaluate which is the most proper PA program for this group-age.
The potential of organized physical activity/physical education for active lifestyle
e-Pedagogium
We have to view the structure of sport preferences as a complex process refl ecting the interactions between situational factors (socio-economic characteristics), motivational factors (reasons for taking part in sport activity) and needs, which are fulfi lled through the realization of a particular activity. The main objective of this survey was to analyze the structure of sport preferences and the level of physical activity (PA) of adolescents in relation with organized PA/ physical education (PE). The character of our research was online-an internet-based research. We used two questionnaires: 1. online version of the sport preferences questionnaire, 2. online version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Both of them are accessible in the INDARES.COM project (www.indares.com). The survey proved its importance in the adequate choice of off ered physical activity programs for children of the junior and senior school age with the potential to create conditions and environment for healthy and active lifestyle. The realization of the online survey approved to be a useful research technique, and if we are able to improve the current system and make it more attractive it has the potential to be really a benefi cial research tool.

The research was conducted on a randomly chosen group of 916 students aged 16-18 in Lublin Province, Poland. The research was carried out in 2016 using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the extended version, and supplemented with additional questions regarding the students’ assessment of physical education lessons. The majority of students (77.4%) meet the requirements for a high level of physical activity, with the remaining 16.5% demonstrating moderate and only 6.1% − low level. There were no significant reductions of physical activity visible in the older age group, although in subsequent periods (in 16-18 year-olds), it was successively lower. The mean level of total physical activity in boys was 65566 MET[1] - min week, and it was significantly higher than in girls, i.e. 5345,5 MET-min/week.

An analysis of school physical activity in adolescent girls
Acta Gymnica, 2011
BACKGROUND: It has been well evidenced that physical activity (PA) has a positive eff ect on human health. It is very likely that a physically active child will grow up to be a physically active adult. Growing older, there is evidence of decreasing PA in children and youth. In the period of adolescence, girls tend to be less physically active than boys and therefore they are understood to be a risk group in relation to PA. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to characterize school related weekly PA in adolescent girls and to identify the infl uence of participation in physical education lessons (PE) on the structure of weekly PA. METHODS: The study was carried out using the ActiGraph monitor and record sheets in a period of fi ve school days and two weekend days. RESULTS: The results have shown that girls participating in two or more PE lessons show higher overall PA performed at school and also spend more time performing intensive PA at school than girls participating only in one or no PE lessons during the week. At school, the girls spent on average 10 minutes performing moderate PA (3.1-6 MET) and 0.6 minutes intensive PA (> 6 MET). The girls spent most of the time at school in being physically inactive, on average 125 minutes. When we compare these results with health recommendations (seven times a week 60 minutes of moderate PA and 3 times a week 20 minutes of intensive PA), we can argue that PA in adolescent girls really needs to be examined in research. Moreover, the results show that school and PA performed there (physical education lessons) still plays its irreplaceable role in the education system regarding the total level of PA and healthy lifestyle in adolescent girls. CONCLUSIONS: The increase of total PA in adolescent girls can be secured by the increase in school related PA (more PE lessons, introducing at least one physically active recess for 30 minutes during a school day, enhancing active transport to and from school) and by the increase of girlsʼ participation in organized PA outside of school and PA at weekends.

Given the need for comparative research on the participation of adolescents in physical education (PE) classes as a privileged space for physical activity (PA) promotion, this study sought to estimate, analyse and compare the prevalence of participation in PE classes among adolescents from 54 countries and to examine sex, age, country income and world regions disparities. Data from the Global Students Health Survey (2010-2015) were used, comprising 170,347 adolescents (90,305 girls, aged 13-17 years) from nationally representative samples of 54 countries-of which 7 are low-income, 23 lower-middle-income, 14 upper-middle-income and 10 high-income-and six world regions. The weighted percentages of adolescents participating in PE classes (never, 1-2 days/week, 3-4 days/week, 5 or more days/week) were estimated along 95% confidence intervals and compared across sex, age, country income, region, and country. Most adolescents reported to participate in PE on 1-2 days/week (55.2%), but almost 20% of adolescents reported never participating in PE. Girls, compared to boys, presented a lower prevalence for participating ≥5 days/week (girls 16.8%, boys 20.0%). The prevalence of participating in PE on ≥3 days/week was higher among adolescents aged 13-14 years when compared to adolescents aged 15-17 years (boys: 30.9% vs. 24.6%; girls: 26.1% vs. 18.2%). Concerning the countries' income, the prevalence of never participating in PE was higher in high-income countries, and participating on ≥3 days/week was higher in low-income countries, but further research is recommended. The findings suggest that national, regional and worldwide data highlight the importance of improving participation in PE, particularly for girls and older adolescents. An improved and continued monitoring of PE policies and their actual implementation is needed worldwide.

Introduction and Objective. Participation of adolescents in organized physical activity (PA), together with physical education, is essential for the development of a habit of regular PA, achievement of PA recommendations and adoption of physical literacy. The aim of the study is to identify the trends and differences in PA levels between adolescents participating in organized team PA, organized individual PA, and those not participating in organized PA. Another aim is to formulate proposals to eliminate the negative effects of the pandemic on adolescents' participation in organized PA. Materials and method. The research took place between 2012-2021 in 51 secondary schools and involved a total of 1,202 boys and 1,561 girls. Participation in organized PA was examined using the 'Sports preferences survey'. Weekly PA was investigated by means of the 'International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form'. Results. The results confirmed the negative trend in participation in organized PA. However, this was predominantly caused by the negative effects of the pandemic in 2020-2021. Boys participating in organized team and individual PA had more school PA, recreation PA, vigorous PA, moderate PA and overall PA during the week, compared with boys not participating in organized PA (girls had more vigorous PA, moderate PA and overall PA). Conclusions. Participation in organized team PA and individual PA plays an important role, primarily in supporting vigorous PA but also in overall weekly PA among boys and girls. The negative effects of the pandemic should be eliminated by increasing adolescents' participation in various forms of organized PA with an emphasis on organized individual PA which can be regularly pursued, even under restrictive measures at home, in the countryside or in nature.
