这项研究评估了与体育活动和看电视有关的相关性是否在性别，年级和种族群体中存在差异。来自31所初中和高中的青少年（n = 4746）完成了自填式调查。青少年的身体活动与家人和朋友的健身关注有关。青少年的体育活动也与他们自己的健身和健康问题有关。很少有身体活动的相关性因性别、年龄或种族而异。电视观看是负相关的家庭的健身问题和健康问题，然而，这些因素占了一小部分的青少年的电视观看的方差。与看电视有关的因素没有因年龄或种族而异。未来的研究需要确定与不活动风险最大的青少年的身体活动和看电视相关的因素。
This study assessed whether the correlates related to physical activity and television viewing differed across gender, grade, and racial groups. Adolescents (n = 4746) from 31 junior and senior high schools completed a self-administered survey. Adolescents' physical activity was related to their families' and friends' fitness concerns. Adolescents' physical activity was also related to their own fitness and health concerns. Few correlates of physical activity differed by gender, age, or race. Television viewing was negatively related to the family's fitness concerns and health concerns; however, these factors accounted for a small amount of the variance in adolescents' television viewing. None of the factors related to television viewing differed by age or race groups. Future studies will need to identify the factors related to physical activity and television viewing among adolescents who are at greatest risk for inactivity.
