Abstract
청소년기 신체활동 참여는 청소년기의 신체적, 정신적 건강뿐만 아니라 성인기 건강행태와 만성질환에도 영향을 미친다는 점에서 중요하다. 이 글에서는 여자 청소년의 신체활동 수준과 운동 경험을 파악하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 남자 청소년과의 비교 결과를 제시하였다. 여자 청소년은 남자 청소년보다 신체활동 실천율이 낮았으며, 특히 근력강화운동에서 남녀 차이가 크게 나타났다. 청소년기에 경험하는 운동 종류에서도 여자 청소년은 걷기, 줄넘기, 훌라후프 등 생활운동과 라켓 운동에 참여한 경우가 많았고, 남자 청소년은 축구, 풋살, 족구, 농구 등 상대적으로 팀 운동 경험이 많았다. 여자 청소년의 신체활동을 장려하고 어렸을 때부터 다양한 운동을 경험할 수 있도록 학교 체육활동 활성화 등 다양한 정책적 노력이 필요하다.

Physical activity in adolescence is important that it affects not only physical and mental health in adolescence, but also health behaviors and chronic disease in adulthood. To understand the physical activity of adolescent girls, this article analyzed differences in physical activity between adolescent girls and boys. Adolescent girls had lower rates of physical activity than adolescent boys, and there was a large difference between girls and boys, especially in muscle strengthening exercise. In terms of the types of exercise experienced in adolescence, girls participated in many daily sports such as walking, jumping rope, and holahoop, while boys participated in team sports such as soccer, futsal, foot volleyball, and basketball. Policy efforts such as activating school sports are needed to encourage physical activities of girls and to enable them to experience various physical exercises from an early age.
