ABSTRACT

In recent years, some indicators of adolescents' physical fitness continue to decline, and the rates of myopia and obesity are increasing. In order to solve the problems of adolescent health, the state has also introduced several policies such as "double reduction". This paper aims to analyze the factors influencing the physical activity of children and adolescents based on the social-ecological model. This article searched the full text of reviews published between 2000 and 2022 was systematically searched through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Academic Search Ultimate, Medline, and SPORTDiscus with full text via the EBSCO platform, a systematic search was conducted. A total of five studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The findings indicate that self-efficacy, friends, parental support, parental exercise, sports facilities, and school policies were positively correlated with the impact of physical activity on children and adolescents. Activity barriers and neighborhood crimes showed a negative correlation. Further research is needed on the effects of parental education, park trails, and government policies on children and adolescents' physical activity. Therefore, the following conclusions are drawn: Physical activity among children and adolescents is affected by a variety of factors, schools are considered to be the main place to implement interventions. The promotion of physical activity among children and adolescents requires the joint participation of the government, communities, schools, families, and scientific research institutes, and requires the introduction of a more comprehensive policy synergy and guarantee system.
