Abstract
Objective: To describe the current situation of physical activity of students in 03 high schools Hanoi in 2017. Subject and method: Research applied cross sectional study using quantitative method with the cluster sampling method of 02 phases, at 03 high schools in Hanoi. 425 students participated in the study. In each grade, we randomly selected a representative class to study. The Active - Q Physical Activity questionnaire (Vietnamese version) was used. Result: The duration and energy metabolite equivalents (MET) of daily activities are not well distributed. The highest was study/work (6.55 ± 2.12 hours/day, 15.42 ± 5.84 MET - hours/day). While sports activity was lowest (0.03 hours/day, 0.19 MET - hours/day). Average total number of equivalent energy metabolism in days of students was 44.06 ± 6.52 MET - 24 hours/day (95% CI: 3.42 - 44.71). Percentage of students in the inactive, the light and moderate intensity physical activity (PA) is: 8.1%, 91.1%, 0.8% respectively. And 99.2% students don’t get level of PA due to recomendation of WHO. Conclusion: Duration for daily activities is inappropriate, the rate of less physical activity (PA) is still high.
