A Comparative Study on Adolescents' Physical Fitness and Its Influencing Factors

Abstract

Adolescents' physical fitness is a vital indicator of their health status and comprehensive development, directly impacting their physical and mental well-being and social adaptability. However, the recent decline in adolescents' physical fitness has raised widespread concerns, with influencing factors demonstrating complexity and diversity. This study systematically reviews the concept and measurement indicators of adolescents' physical fitness, explores the specific impacts of biological factors, social environmental factors, and health behaviors on physical fitness, and employs stratified comparative analysis to reveal the relative effects and interaction mechanisms of these factors. The findings show that adolescents' physical fitness is influenced by a combination of multidimensional factors: biological characteristics such as gender and age determine the foundational differences, while social environment and behavioral patterns play a crucial role in shaping dynamic changes.
