Male students at upper secondary school aerobic capacity and physical activity : A comparison between those who study academic programs and vocational programs (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka manliga gymnasieelever i Stockholmsområdet, deras aeroba förmåga (VO2max) samt deras grad av fysisk aktivitet mätt genom antal steg som tas per dag. (1) Vad har manliga gymnasieelever för aerob förmåga och i vilken grad uppnår de fysisk aktivitet registrerad genom pedometer? (2) Finns det något samband mellan aerob förmåga och fysisk aktivitet hos manliga gymnasieelever? (3) Förekommer det någon skillnad i aerob förmåga och fysisk aktivitet mellan yrkesförberedande- och studieförberedande manliga elever? 

Metod: Denna studie är en kvantitativ experimentell studie där 25 manliga gymnasieelevers aeroba förmåga (VO2max) och aktivitetsnivå har undersökts. Nio av deltagarna studerar ett yrkesförberedande program och 14 deltagare studerar ett studieförberedande program. För att få ett mått på aerob förmåga har eleverna fått utföra ett Yo-Yo intermittent Recovery Level 1 test (IR1), och för att få svar på elevernas aktivitetsnivå samt om det finns något samband mellan aerob förmåga och fysisk aktivitet har eleverna fått bära pedometer under veckodagarna torsdag och fredag samt helgdagen lördag. För att beräkna normalfördelning i grupperna användes Shapiro-Wilks test. Signifikansnivån bestämde vi till att vara (p ≤0,05) och analyserades med hjälp av Pearsons chi2-test. 

Resultat: Resultatet visar en signifikant skillnad mellan grupperna, den studieförberedande gruppen har en signifikant högre aerob förmåga än den yrkesförberedande gruppen (p=0,00043). Undersökningen visar att det inte finns något samband mellan aerob förmåga och fysisk aktivitet i antal steg. Det finns inga signifikanta skillnader mellan grupperna i fysisk aktivitet (p=0,38773). 

Slutsats: Denna studie visar att det endast finns en signifikant skillnad mellan yrkesförberedande- och studieförberedande elever i aerob förmåga. Den studieförberedande gruppen har en signifikant högre aerob förmåga än den yrkesförberedande gruppen (p=0.00043). Eleverna visade sig vara som mest aktiva på torsdagen och minst aktiva på lördagen. Pedometer anses inte vara reliabelt för att mäta fysisk aktivitetsnivå.  

Abstract [en]

Aim: This study aims to investigate physical capacity (VO2max) and physical activity (number of steps/day) among male high-school students in Stockholm. (1) What is the level of physical capacity among the students and to what extent do the students reach physical activity measured with pedometer? (2) Is there a correlation between aerobic capacity and physical activity among male high-school students? (3) Are there any differences in physical capacity and physical activity between students who study academic or vocational programs? 

Method: This review is a quantitative experimental study in which 25 male high school students and their physical capacity (V02max) and levels of physical activity has been investigated. Nine of the participants studied a vocational program and 14 of the participants studied an academic program. To get a measure of aerobic capacity the students conducted a Yo-Yo intermittent Recovery Level 1 test (IR1). To get answer to the students' physical activity and the connection between aerobic capacity and physical activity, the students carried pedometers during the weekdays Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Shapiro-Wilks test was used to examine normal distribution among the groups. Pearson chi2-test was used to compare if there were any differences between the groups. The level of statistical significance was set as (p ≤ 0,05).  

Results: The results showed significant differences between the academic and vocational group in aerobic capacity (VO2max) (p = 0.00043). The review shows no correlation between aerobic capacity and physical activity in number of steps. The results showed no significant differences between the academic and vocational group in physical activity by steps (p = 0.38773).  

Conclusions: The study shows there is only one significant difference between the vocational and academic student in aerobic capacity (VO2max) (p = 0.00043). The academic students show significant higher physical capacity than the vocational students. The students are most active on Thursdays and least active on Saturdays. Pedometer is not a valuable tool to measure levels of physical activity.
