Methods:In February 1-7,2023, a convenient sampling method was used to select 6 593 middle school students in 5 prefectural cities of Ningxia. Online questionnaires were used to investigate physical activity and its influencing factors in the previous month.
Results:The detection rates of sedentary behavior, light physical activity, moderate physical activity and vigorous physical activity was 92.25%, 4.66%, 2.72% and 0.38%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that being female, older age, overweight, obesity, COVID-19 infection, low to moderate family support, low to moderate level knowledge of physical activity, insufficient physical activity skills, insufficient physical activity equipment, long distance (>2.5 km or above) were associated with less physical activity ( OR=1.22, 2.47, 1.89, 1.39, 2.32, 1.20, 2.61, 1.85, 1.45, 1.23, 1.26, 1.11, 2.05, 1.77, 1.14, 1.43, P <0.05).
