Project Description
Methods: A Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (PPLI) and an International Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (IPAQ-A) were distributed to the participants in the first 15 minutes of PE lessons in their schools.
Results: A total of 1,945 adolescents aged 12 to 18 (1,028 male and 917 female), with a mean age of 14.98 (±1.65) years old participated in this study. The correlation of the total score of perceived PL and PA levels were low but significant (R = 0.227, p < 0.01), as were the correlation of factors of PL, PA intensities and domains of PA (R = 0.067 – 0.292, p < 0.01). In looking at individual factors, there were significant differences in age, (z = 2.422, p = 0.015), SES [HKD 15,000-29,999 (R = 0.35), HKD < 15,000 (R = 0.225, t = -2.517, p = 0.012) and HKD > 30000 (R = 0.191, t = 3.097, p <0.01)] and academic achievement [band 1 (R = 0.31) and 3 (R = 0.191) school banding: t = 2.334, p = 0.02].
Conclusion: The relationship between the perceived physical literacy and the physical activity levels is significantly low but closely related to the school and recreational domains of PA, including such individual factors as age, academic achievement and socio-economic status.
