Sažetak
Introduction: Physical activity level in children and adolescents varies to a great extent and is affected by numerous factors. The aim of the study was to analyse physical activity (PA) level, active energy expenditure in physical activity (PAEE) and time spend sedentary in adolescents with regard to school type they are attending. Methods: The sample consisted of 844 students (434 boys and 410 girls) aged 15, enrolled in academic and vocational school programs. PA and AEE were assessed during four days using a multiple-sensor body monitor (SenseWear Armband ; BodyMedia Inc.). Data concerning screen time (SCT) were collected through a standardized questionnaire. Differences in PAEE, PA duration and SCT between adolescents from different schools types were tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relations between PA and sedentary behaviours and weight status. 12% of girls enrolled in academic and 16% of girls enrolled in vocational schools (p=0.42) and 10% of boys enrolled in academic and 20% of boys enrolled in vocational school (p=0.02) were overweight. The results did not reveal signi fi cant difference in AEE, and time spent in moderate, moderate to vigorous as well as in vigorous PA between students enrolled in different study programs. However, total sedentary time during the school week and SCT were signi fi cantly longer in girls enrolled in vocational programs (p=0.02). Boys enrolled in vocational school also spend signi fi cantly more time at front of TV and PC screen during school week than boys attending academic school, but during weekends differences were not signi fi cant. Adolescents of both sexes enrolled in academic programs spend signi fi cantly more time doing homework. Logistic regression analysis showed a signi fi cant decrease of risk being overweight in male adolescents in the highest quartile of MVPA (OR 0.48) and in those who spend the least time doing homework. In girls no signi fi cant relationships between PA and sedentary behaviour and weight status were found. Conclusions: The study indicates differences in weight status and sedentary behaviour between students in vocational and academic school programs. Adolescents enrolled in vocational schools should be a major target group for preventive measures to modify sedentary behaviour.
