Measure
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
Regular moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is essential for adolescent health, contributing to physical fitness, cardiovascular health, and mental well-being. This measure examines the frequency with which young people engage in activities that increase heart rate and breathing, providing insights into their overall physical activity levels and potential health benefits. Understanding the prevalence of MVPA among adolescents can inform interventions aimed at promoting active lifestyles and reducing sedentary behaviours.
