ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Distinct typologies of physical activity and screen-based sedentary behaviors are common during adolescence, but it is unknown how these change over time. This longitudinal study examined the stability of activity-related behavioral typologies over the transition out of secondary school.METHODS:
Year 11 students (penultimate school year) completed a self-report survey (baseline), which was repeated 2 years later (follow-up) (75% female, mean baseline age 16.9 ± 0.4 years). Latent transition analysis identified typologies of physical activity and screen time behaviors and explored changes in typology membership between baseline and follow-up among those with complete data and who were not attending secondary school at follow-up (n = 803).RESULTS:
Three unique typologies were identified and labelled as 1) Sedentary gamers (baseline 17%; follow-up 15% high levels of screen behaviors, particularly video gaming); 2) Inactives (baseline 46%; follow-up 48% low physical activities, average levels of screen behaviors); and 3) Actives (baseline 37%; follow-up 37% high physical activities, low screen behaviors). Most participants remained in the same typology (83.2%), 8.5% transitioned to a typology with a more health-enhancing profile and 8.3% transitioned to a typology with a more detrimental behavioral profile.CONCLUSIONS:
The high proportion within the 'inactive' typology and the stability of typologies over the transition period suggests that public health interventions are required to improve activity-related behavior typologies before adolescents leave secondary school.Palavras-chave
