Abstract

Background: Understanding adolescents’ perspectives about physical activity (PA) is important, as a basic source to create an effective intervention. However, the perspective-related knowledge on physical activity behavior of adolescents has not yet been explored in a qualitative study. This study purpose to explore adolescents’ perception of PA in the context of the urban and rural area environment.

Methods: Snowball sampling technique was used to get a total of 20 students from urban and rural areas respectively. Students aged 13 to 15 years were involved in the offline and online interview (by a videocall through WhatsApp) with semi-structured questions guidelines. Interview guidelines consist of five-item topic questions and each topic has a different number of questions, with a total of 17 questions. This study also involved the photovoice procedures, such as photo-taking, selecting, contextualizing, and codifying themes. NVivo 12 software for qualitative data analysis.

Results: Youth in urban areas had a good and better perspective about the benefits of physical activity compared with adolescents in a rural areas. However, adolescents in rural areas had a better understanding of the definition of PA. As well as, both youths in an urban and rural areas had little understanding about the recommendation of PA duration for adolescents.

Conclusion: It is suggested that health promotion and education about the benefits of physical activity is urgently needed for adolescents in rural. Both youths from urban and rural area need education about PA recommendations for youth.
