Introduction: Exercise behavior can prevent many kinds of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, allergies, stress. Purpose: this descriptive study was to investigate the physical activity levels among secondary school students aged 14 - 15 years in Cambodia.
Methods: A public 168 secondary-school students (84 boys, 84 girls) aged 14 – 15 years who
living and studying in Cambodia was given their physical activity data by using the Survey of
Physical Activity in Thai Children and Youth 2015 (PARC), for the age 14 – 17-year-old group.
The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics (means, standard deviation and percentage) and
physical activity levels between genders were compared by independent sample t-test. Results:
The participants spent time in moderate physical activity (MPA) 100.78±88.31 minutes in
weekday and 103.71±118.99 minutes in the weekend, while they engaged in sedentary
behavior for 149.11±138.08 minutes in weekday and 123.51±113.03 minutes in a weekend
days. They usually had talking with friends (43.5%) in the morning before class. Boys had
average time spent in all levels of physical activity more than girls in both weekday and
weekend day. Discussion and Conclusion: The Cambodian secondary school students aged
14-15 years engaged in the recommended-physical activity less than 60-minutes per day. Boys were more active than girls. The health promotion should be implementing to this age group
