Neighbourhood Sports Facilities 2005: Children and Youth Survey

The survey was part of a multifaceted evaluation of neighbourhood sports facilities carried out by Young Finland Association. Data were collected from four different sources: from project managers of sports facility construction projects (FSD2537), children and young people in the neighbourhood where the facility is located (FSD2535), their parents (FSD2536), and schools if the facility was located in the schoolyard (FSD2538). The main themes in the children and young people survey were physical activities taken at school break times and physical exercise taken during leisure time. Physical activity at school breaks was charted by asking the respondents what were their favourite spots for physical activities, how much of their break they usually spent in such activity and whether the construction/renovation of the sports facility in the schoolyard had increased their physical activities. Physical activity at leisure time was charted by asking the respondents how often they took exercise for at least 20 minutes at a time, for how many hours a week they took strenuous exercise (becoming breathless and sweaty), whether they used the neighbourhood sports facility at leisure time and whether it had increased or varied their physical activities. Some questions covered the type of exercise taken and with whom. Reasons for using the neighbourhood sports facility at leisure time were charted as well as what prevented or hampered them from taking exercise. Background variables included the municipality, whether the facility was in the schoolyard or not, distance between the respondent's home and sports facility, name of the school, the respondent's gender, class, grade received at physical education, whether did sports in a sports club, and how often.

本调查是芬兰青年协会对社区体育设施进行的多维度评估活动的一部分。数据收集自四个不同的来源：体育设施建设项目经理（FSD2537）、设施所在地社区儿童及青少年（FSD2535）、其父母（FSD2536），以及设施位于校园内时的学校（FSD2538）。儿童及青少年调查的主要主题包括学校课间休息时段的体育活动以及休闲时间的体育锻炼。通过询问受访者他们最喜欢的体育活动地点、通常在课间休息中花费多少时间进行此类活动，以及校园内体育设施的建设/翻新是否增加了他们的体育活动，来描绘学校课间休息时段的体育活动。通过询问受访者他们多久进行一次至少20分钟的锻炼、每周进行多长时间的剧烈运动（喘息和出汗），是否在休闲时间使用社区体育设施，以及它是否增加了或改变了他们的体育活动，来描绘休闲时间的体育锻炼。一些问题还涵盖了运动类型和运动伙伴。同时，还记录了使用社区体育设施的原因，以及阻碍他们进行锻炼的因素。背景变量包括所在市镇、设施是否位于校园内、受访者家庭与体育设施之间的距离、学校名称、受访者的性别、年级、体育教育获得的等级、是否在体育俱乐部参加运动，以及频率。
