Samenvatting

Gezond actief leven tijdens de adolescentie ondersteunt optimale gezondheid en ontwikkeling van het individu. Lichamelijke activiteit en scherm-gebonden activiteiten zijn belangrijke aspecten van het gedrag van de adolescenten. We vonden dat adolescenten relatief weinig fysieke activiteit en nogal veel scherm-gebonden activiteiten rapporteerden. Echter, beide soorten gedragingen zijn niet alleen elkaars tegengestelde, adolescenten kunnen tegelijkertijd lichamelijk actief zijn en ook veel scherm-gebonden activiteiten hebben. Wij vonden dat lichamelijke activiteit en scherm-gebonden activiteiten in de adolescentie verband hielden met potentiële determinanten op verschillende niveaus in het sociaal-ecologisch model. Dat betrof ten eerste het intrapersoonlijke niveau (de geslachtsspecifieke rol van het lichaamsbeeld en motieven voor fysieke activiteit), vervolgens de waargenomen omgeving (positieve invloed van de perceptie van de omgeving als activiteits-vriendelijk) en tot slot de bredere setting van het gedrag (mate van verstedelijking, toegankelijkheid voor sportfaciliteiten en actieve pauzes). Een beter begrip van de potentiële determinanten die samenhangen met lichamelijke activiteit en scherm-gebonden activiteiten bij adolescenten zijn daarom essentieel op het gebied van preventie en gezondheidsbevordering. Onze bevindingen wijzen erop dat het ecologische model van actief leven een nuttig theoretisch kader biedt voor verder onderzoek naar de determinanten van lichamelijke activiteit en scherm-gebonden activiteiten. Bovendien wijzen onze bevindingen erop dat adolescenten tegelijkertijd lichamelijk actief en sedentair kunnen zijn. Het begrijpen waarom adolescenten actief of inactief zijn in hun leven zou aanzienlijk kunnen bijdragen aan betere gezondheidsbevorderende interventies. Door deze relatief nieuwe uitdagingen adequaat aan te pakken, kan veel worden bereikt voor de gezondheid van adolescenten.

abstract = "Healthy active living during adolescence supports optimal health and growth of the individual. Physical activity and screen-based activities are important aspects of health behaviour of adolescents. We found that adolescents reported relatively little physical activity and rather many screen-based activities. However, both types of behaviour are not merely opposite to each other, i.e. at the same time adolescents can be physically active and still have a high rate of screen-based activities. Physical activity and screen-based activities in adolescence were associated with potential determinants on several levels based on the socio-ecological model. This started with the intrapersonal level (gender-specific role of body image and motives for physical activity), next the perceived environment (positive influence of the perception of the environment as activity-friendly) and finally the environmental setting of behaviour (degree of urbanization, some accessibility to sports facilities and active breaks). A better understanding of the potential determinants associated with physical activity and screen-based activities in adolescents are therefore essential for prevention and health promotion. Our findings indicate that the ecological model of active living provides a useful theoretical framework for further research into the determinants of physical activity and screen-based activities. In addition, our findings suggest that adolescents can be physically active and still sedentary at the same time. Understanding why adolescents are active or inactive in their life could significantly contribute to improved health-promoting interventions. By adequately addressing these relatively new challenges, much can be gained for adolescent public health.",
