Determinants of engagement in muscle-strengthening activities among children and adolescents: insights from a large-scale school-based study
MSE participation is correlated by sociodemographic, behavioral, and self-perception factors, particularly sex, age, socioeconomic status, sports club involvement, and weight perception. Interventions to enhance MSE participation should target the important identified factors. Future studies should consider using longitudinal designs to strengthen understanding of MSE, further aiding in developing relevant and effective interventions.
