Abstract

Background: Lack of exercise, sedentary behavior, and long-time glaring at a screen have been globally urgent public health problems. These are also the main risk factors for adolescents’ health. However, the influencing factors of the sedentary behavior and the mechanism need to be further investigated, due to the specificity, contingency, and difficulty of the sedentary behavior. Purpose: To explore the influencing factors of the sedentary behavior in adolescents, construct and test the model of influencing factors of Chinese adolescents’ sedentary behavior. Methods: To investigate the influencing factors of adolescents’ sedentary behavior, and construct the model of adolescents’ sedentary behavior by interviewing 27 adolescents using grounded theory, depth interview, focus group, and a survey on 104 adolescents; to test the model by investigating 2100 adolescents using a self-report inventory. Results: the information in English in the original version. Conclusions: It has been tested that the influencing factors of adolescents’ sedentary behavior mainly include 4 categories. Future research can conduct intervention study within China to further test the efficiency of the model. Funding: East China Normal University 2020 “Outstanding Doctoral Academy Innovation Improvement Program” (YBNLTS2020-008)
