Abstract

The health benefits of regular physical activity (PA) in youth are well-documented. Yet the adherence rate to PA guidelines among youth worldwide is alarmingly deficient with only 19% of youth worldwide adhering to the World Health Organization guidelines. This is reflective of a global proliferation of a physical inactivity pandemic among youth. The negative consequences of physical inactivity on health are profound, as they threaten to persist into adulthood, exacerbating the burden of preventable health issues. There is persuasive evidence that vigorous PA generates physical fitness and health benefits surpassing those of low- or moderate-intensity activity in youth. In addition, indications show that the adherence rate to vigorous PA among youth exceeds that relative to for low- or moderate-intensity activity. As a result, promoting vigorous PA can help mitigate the global issue of low adherence to PA in youth. Therefore, in this Current Opinion paper, we argue that vigorous PA, compared to low or moderate-intensity activity, holds greater significance for youth's health and physical fitness. Additionally, the potential implications derived from the existing evidence regarding vigorous PA on the current guidelines for youth are discussed.

为什么下一代《青少年指南》应优先考虑剧烈运动?
青少年经常参加体育锻炼(PA)对健康的益处有目共睹。然而,全球青少年对体育锻炼指导原则的遵守率却低得惊人,只有 19% 的青少年遵守世界卫生组织的指导原则。这反映出全球青少年缺乏体育锻炼的现象正在蔓延。缺乏运动对健康的负面影响是深远的,因为它们有可能持续到成年,加重可预防的健康问题的负担。有令人信服的证据表明,剧烈的体育锻炼对青少年的体能和健康产生的益处超过了低强度或中等强度的活动。此外,有迹象表明,青少年对剧烈运动的坚持率超过了对低强度或中等强度活动的坚持率。因此,推广剧烈运动有助于缓解青少年运动坚持率低这一全球性问题。因此,在本篇 "当前观点 "论文中,我们认为与低强度或中等强度活动相比,剧烈运动对青少年的健康和体能具有更大的意义。此外,我们还讨论了有关剧烈运动的现有证据对现行青少年指导原则的潜在影响。
