背景：社会支持可以影响某些人的身体活动。这项研究探讨了社会支持对青少年身体活动的影响以及他们感知到的锻炼障碍和好处。方法：一项调查由俄亥俄州 2 所单性别（1 名男性，1 名女性）高中的青少年（N = 535）完成。结果：受到父母鼓励锻炼并且有锻炼朋友的青少年在过去一周中进行体育活动的天数明显多于同龄人。根据受访者是否得到父母的鼓励以及是否有锻炼的朋友，对体育活动的好处的感知存在显着差异。对体育活动的社会支持显着影响青少年对体育活动的看法和参与度。结论：父母应该鼓励孩子积极锻炼身体，并与同伴一起锻炼。
Background: Social support can influence physical activity among some individuals. This study examined the effect that social support has on adolescents' physical activity and their perceived barriers and benefits to exercising. Methods: A survey was completed by adolescents (N = 535) at 2 single-sex (1 male, 1 female) high schools in Ohio. Results: Adolescents who received parental encouragement to exercise and who had an exercising friend engaged in significantly more days of physical activity in the past week than did their counterparts. Perceived benefits of physical activity differed significantly based on whether the respondent received parental encouragement and had a friend who exercised. Social support for physical activity significantly affected adolescents' perceptions of and engagement in physical activity. Conclusions: Parents should encourage their children to become physically active and partner with peers when exercising.
