青少年對體育活動的態度

本文回顧了近期在體育運動和活動參與上的障礙和促成因素的研究，並報告一個始於2008年初、共977名中學生參與的調查。調查針對學生參與體育運動和活動的態度、自我體能的評估，以及在任務上和自尊上的目標定位。研究發現，性別和年齡是主要的因素，而步行是他們最普遍的體力活動。政府、家長、體育運動團體和學校須互相合作，向一些不太富裕的家庭、女孩子，以及高年級學生提供機會，使他們認識體育運動的真正意義，並能夠積極參與。

A brief review of the current research findings on perceived barriers and contributors to participation in sports and physical activity is presented, with special references to data collected from Hong Kong schools. The present paper outlines the findings of a survey conducted in early 2008 of 977 local secondary school students with regard to their attitudes to and participation in sports and physical activities perceived physical competence, and task and ego orientation. It was found that gender and age were important factors and walking was the most popular activity, increased participation, and better life satisfaction, various stakeholders—the SAR Government of Hong Kong, parents, sports associations/clubs, and school teachers/administrators—must work together to provide more incentives for less affluent families, for girls, as well as for upper secondary school students to become participants.
