Abstract (756 Views)
Aims: Regular engagement in physical activity is a prerequisite for physical and mental health and reduces the risk of several diseases and psychological disorders. This study aimed to investigate the status of physical activity among female students aged 13-17 years in Khoy County.
Instrument & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was designed and conducted during the winter of 2021-2022. The Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) was provided online to all female students aged 13-17 in Khoy County, with 2,225 students completing it. The data were entered into SPSS 22 software, and descriptive statistics (frequency tables) and the chi-square test were used for analysis.
Findings: Over 58% of the students had not participated in any sports teams in the past 12 months. More than 43% of the surveyed participants had not engaged in any sports to strengthen their muscles in the past week, despite more than 75% reporting that the benefits of physical activity had been discussed with them in at least one of their classes.
Conclusion: The level of physical activity among female students in Khoy is low.
