Abstract
Regular participation in regularly performed physical activity (PA) is recommended for proper development of rapidly changing physical and psychological status of adolescents. Despite the importance of proper PA, various prioritizing factors in adolescents' daily lives such as competitive academic performance deter regular participation. This study has been conducted to analyze impact of PA on academic performance (grades) for middle to high school female adolescents. 20th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey data with 8 factors were utilized for the study. 25,668 female adolescents across six grade levels (M1, M2, M3, H1, H2, H3) were grouped to sedentary (SG: 2 or fewer days/wk) and physically active (PG: 3 or more days/wk) groups based on their weekly PA days and compared. Also, each incremented day of PA (0- through 7-day PA) was further compared. Although SG and PG showed mixed results, incremented PA days showed either significantly better academic performances or no difference. Significant poor academic performances were shown for 7-day PA compared to 0-day PA for M2 (2.88±1.19 vs. 3.25±1.17), M3 (2.84±1.20 vs. 3.23±1.23), H3 (3.02±1.08 vs. 3.51±1.09). Although body mass index (BMI) of each grade level was within normal range for all PA groups, significantly increased BMI was shown in SG groups. Moreover, perceived effort on weight control (effort) was shown for all 7-day PA groups compared to all 0-day PA groups. In conclusion, regularly performed PA may positively influence or have no effect on academic performance. However, excessive PA aimed at weight control may have a negative impact.
经常参加有规律的体育锻炼(PA)有助于青少年快速变化的身体和心理状况的正常发展。尽管适当的体育锻炼很重要,但青少年日常生活中的各种优先考虑因素(如竞争激烈的学业成绩)阻碍了他们定期参加体育锻炼。本研究旨在分析体育锻炼对初中至高中女生学习成绩(成绩)的影响。研究采用了第 20 次韩国青少年危险行为调查的数据,包括 8 个因素。将六个年级(M1、M2、M3、H1、H2、H3)的 25,668 名女青少年根据其每周参加体育锻炼的天数分为久坐(SG:每周 2 天或更少)组和体育锻炼(PG:每周 3 天或更多)组,并进行比较。此外,还对每个递增的运动日(0 至 7 天运动日)进行了进一步比较。虽然 SG 组和 PG 组的结果不一,但增加 PA 天数组的学习成绩要么明显更好,要么没有差别。与 0 天 PA 相比,7 天 PA 的学习成绩明显较差:M2(2.88±1.19 vs. 3.25±1.17)、M3(2.84±1.20 vs. 3.23±1.23)、H3(3.02±1.08 vs. 3.51±1.09)。虽然所有 PA 组各年级的体重指数(BMI)都在正常范围内,但 SG 组的体重指数明显增加。此外,与所有 0 天 PA 组相比,所有 7 天 PA 组在体重控制(努力程度)方面的感知努力程度都有所提高。总之,定期进行体育锻炼可能会对学习成绩产生积极影响或没有影响。然而,以控制体重为目的的过度运动量可能会产生负面影响。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation is the official journal of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation, and is published six times a year. Supplementary issues may be published. Its official abbreviation is "J Exerc Rehabil". It was launched in 2005. The title of the first volume was Journal of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation (pISSN 1976-6319).

The effects of exercise rehabilitation are very broad and in some cases exercise rehabilitation has different treatment areas than traditional rehabilitation. Exercise rehabilitation can be presented as a solution to new diseases in modern society and it can replace traditional medicine in economically disadvantaged areas.

The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation aims to serve as an intermediary for objective and scientific validation on the effects of exercise rehabilitation worldwide. The types of manuscripts include research articles, review articles, and articles invited by the Editorial Board. The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation contains 6 sections: Basic research on exercise rehabilitation, Clinical research on exercise rehabilitation, Exercise rehabilitation pedagogy, Exercise rehabilitation education, Exercise rehabilitation psychology, and Exercise rehabilitation welfare.
