Introduction: Inactivity is the main threat to health and it starts especially in girls from adolescence. Considering the importance of physical activity in physical and mental health, the purpose of this study is to investigate the physical activity status of female high school students in Bushehr city and related factors based on the Pender's health promotion model.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study that was conducted on 113 10th and 11th grade female students who were selected through multi-stage sampling. These students completed a three-part questionnaire including demographic information, constructs of the health promotion model (perceived benefits and barriers, self-efficacy, family and friends support, and commitment to planning physical activity), and a 7-day recall physical activity questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS version 22.
results: The findings showed that the average daily energy consumption from physical activity was at a low level with an average of 35.39±3.76. There was a significant relationship between the constructs of self-efficacy (r=0.434), commitment to planning action (r=0.420), perceived benefits (r=0.344), and family support (r=0.202) with physical activity. The constructs of this model predicted 27.5 percent changes in physical activity, and the most important predictors of physical activity are the individual's perception of his ability to perform physical activity (β=0.277, P=0.004) and commitment to the physical activity program (β=0.230, P=0.030).
Conclusion: It seems that improving adolescent girls' understanding of the benefits of physical activity and their ability to deal with barriers to physical activity and creating a commitment in them to plan for physical activity can be effective in improving the physical activity of adolescent girls; in addition, providing support in the field of physical activity by families is effective in promoting physical activity in adolescents.
