Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between academic engagement and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), muscle-strengthening exercise (MSE) and sedentary behavior (SB) among adolescents, so as to provide evidence from the perspective of exercising for students to learn efficiently, teachers to improve classroom teaching, and schools to improve educational quality.

Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in 12 junior high schools in Shanghai, China, which were selected by a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Then, with the valid data of 2078 students collected from the survey. A data analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 26.0. Multiple linear regression models were adopted to analyze the factors affecting adolescent academic engagement and to determine whether MVPA, MSE, and SB play roles in it.

Results: (1) The differences in academic engagement depended on the exercise adherence to the recommended amount of MVPA, MSE, and screen-based SB. (2) In terms of the three independent variables of total time, MSE (β = 0.206) and MVPA (β = 0.175) showed a significant positive correlation with academic engagement, while SB (β = -0.155) was negatively correlated with academic engagement. (3) From the linear regression model of eight combination groups divided by the exercise adherence to the recommended amount of MVPA, MSE and SB, the group that met none of the recommendations (β = -0.235) showed a significant negative effect on academic engagement, while the groups that met any two or all three of the recommendations demonstrated strong positive correlations with academic engagement (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: Increasing adolescents' muscle-strengthening exercise and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior can effectively promote academic engagement. Therefore, adolescents are suggested to reach the recommended amounts of physical activity, muscle-strengthening exercise, and sedentary behavior so as to improve academic engagement more effectively.

多运动少坐能提高青少年的学术参与度吗？-一项基于中国上海市初中生的研究。

目的：本研究旨在探讨青少年的学业投入与中强度体育活动（MVPA）、肌肉强化运动（MSE）和久坐行为（SB）之间的关系，从锻炼的角度为学生高效学习、教师改进课堂教学提供证据，以及学校提高教育质量。方法：采用多阶段分层整群抽样方法，对上海市12所初中进行问卷调查。然后，用2078名学生的有效数据进行问卷调查。使用SPSS Statistics 26.0进行数据分析。采用多元线性回归模型分析影响青少年学业投入的因素，并确定MVPA、MSE和SB是否在其中发挥作用，MSE（β=0.206）和MVPA（β=0.175）与学术投入呈显著正相关，SB（β=-0.155）与学术参与呈负相关。（3）根据八个组合组的线性回归模型，根据运动对推荐量MVPA、MSE和SB的坚持程度划分，未满足任何建议的组（β=-0.235）对学术参与表现出显著的负面影响，而满足任意两项或全部三项建议的组与学术参与度呈正相关（P＜0.001）。结论：增加青少年的肌肉强化运动和中等强度到剧烈的体育活动，减少久坐行为，可以有效地促进学术参与度。因此，建议青少年达到建议的体育活动量、肌肉强化运动量和久坐行为量，以便更有效地提高学术参与度。
