有组织的休闲活动（OLTA）已被确定为适合提高学校成绩的环境。本研究旨在评估 OLTA 参与与学校参与度、学校相关压力、学业成绩之间的关联，以及这些关联是否因 OLTA 参与的具体模式、性别和年龄而有所不同。此外，它还评估了 OLTA 参与者是否更有可能从家庭之外获得学业支持。该样本涉及 2014 年捷克共和国学龄儿童健康行为数据收集中的 10,483 名 11、13 和 15 岁青少年（49.2% 男孩）。使用根据性别和年龄调整的逻辑回归分析参与 OLTA 与四种教育相关结果之间的关联。无论性别和年龄如何，参与 OLTA 都与更高的学校参与度、更低的学校相关压力和更好的学业成绩相关。在同时参与各种类型 OLTA 的青少年中观察到最强的关联，其比值比范围为 1.34（95% 置信区间 (CI) 1.17–1.54）（表示较低的学校相关压力）和 1.97（95% CI 1.73–2.25）（表示高于平均水平的学业成绩）。 OLTA 参与者也更有可能有非家庭成员帮助他们完成学业，尽管这种关联在 15 岁的孩子中较弱。青少年参与 OLTA 与总体上更好的学校表现和对学校的依恋有关。同时参加较多活动的青少年在校表现最好。
Organized leisure-time activities (OLTA) have been identified as a context suitable for improvement of school performance. This study aimed to assess the associations between participation in OLTA and school engagement, school-related stress, academic achievement and whether these associations differ by specific pattern of OLTA participation, gender and age. Furthermore, it assessed whether OLTA participants are more likely to acquire support for schoolwork from outside the family. The sample concerned 10,483 adolescents (49.2% boys) aged 11, 13 and 15 from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children data collection in 2014 in the Czech Republic. Logistic regressions adjusted for gender and age were used to analyse the associations between participation in OLTA and four education-related outcomes. Participation in OLTA was associated with higher school engagement, lower levels of school-related stress and better academic achievement regardless of gender and age. The strongest associations were observed for adolescents involved in various types of OLTA concurrently, with odds ratios ranging from 1.34 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17–1.54) for lower school-related stress to 1.97 (95% CI 1.73–2.25) for above-average academic achievement. OLTA participants were also more likely to have a non-familial person to help them with schoolwork, though this association was weaker in 15-year-olds. Youth involvement in OLTA is linked to general better school performance and attachment to school. Adolescents participating in more activities at the same time have the best school performance.
