Abstract | Background: Physical activity is of paramount
importance in the developing individuals because
it is associated with a number of physical and
psychosocial health benefits. One of the
contemporary models used to explain physical
activity behavior is the social-ecological model.
Nowadays, there is increasing support for the use
of a social ecological perspective to identify
specific correlates that might influence students’
physical activity.
Objective: The major objective of this study was
to identify and summarize the factors associated
with young people’s physical activity participation
based on the social-ecological model.
Methods: A review of the literature published
between January 2004 and November 2012 was
undertaken, based primarily on the Medline and
PubMed, SPORTDiscus, PsychInfo, Cochrane,
CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Web of Knowledge and
Social Science Search databases. Only original
papers that explicitly used the social-ecological
framework to analyze the factors associated with
physical activity participation in children and
adolescents were considered.
Results: Five original articles were deemed
relevant to the topic. Current evidence suggests
that individual factors (self-efficacy and fun),
social-environmental factors (peer support,
parent/family support, support from physical
education teachers and family economic status),
physical-environmental factors (equipment
availability, school facilities and locations) and
policy factors (higher-level policies, school
implementation strategies, teacher supervision,
safety rules, sports equipment accessibility and
play area accessibility) all affect young people’s
physical activity participation.
Conclusion(s): To date, only a few studies have
used the social-ecological framework to analyze
the factors affecting physical activity participation
behavior in young people. Further quantitative
studies are essential to confirm how these factors
interact and affect physical activity participation in
the younger generation.
Declaration: This abstract has been published in the Journal of
Education Research and Behavioral Sciences, 2(3): 28-32, Mar
