Abstract

Background: Adolescence is an important period of growth and development. We aimed to analyz the factors affecting the subjective health and physical fitness perceptions of Korean adolescents.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from 2,599 Korean adolescents who participated in the Korea National Life and Sports Surveys during 2020-2022, along with secondary data analysis. The study included frequency analysis of the demographic variables and chi-square tests to examine the relationship between the variables and subjective health and fitness perceptions. Multivariate logistic regression was also used to explore the factors affecting adolescent subjective perceptions.

Results: The study revealed significant factors influencing health perceptions in Korean adolescents, including male gender, lack of regular physical activity, adequate rest, adherence to a consistent diet, and use of nutritional supplements (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Key factors, such as rest, diet, and nutritional supplements should be considered while developing policies that support adolescent health. Unfortunately, there has been a decline in the physical activity of adolescents in Korea. Therefore, a variety of physical activity programs that consider the characteristics of each student need to be developed to address adolescent health issues.

影响韩国青少年主观健康和体能观念的因素。

背景介绍青春期是成长和发展的重要时期。我们旨在分析影响韩国青少年主观健康和体能认知的因素：这项横断面研究使用了参加 2020-2022 年韩国全国生活和体育调查的 2,599 名韩国青少年的数据，并对二手数据进行了分析。研究包括人口统计学变量的频率分析和检验变量与主观健康和体适能感知之间关系的卡方检验。研究还采用了多元逻辑回归法来探讨影响青少年主观认知的因素：研究发现，影响韩国青少年健康感知的重要因素包括男性性别、缺乏有规律的体育锻炼、充足的休息、坚持稳定的饮食和使用营养补充剂（P0.05）：结论：在制定支持青少年健康的政策时，应考虑休息、饮食和营养补充剂等关键因素。遗憾的是，韩国青少年的体育活动量有所下降。因此，需要根据每个学生的特点制定各种体育活动计划，以解决青少年健康问题。
