Resumen
A reexamination of the health problems of Chinese adolescents based on the concept of physical literacy (PL) was necessary. Through the use of follow-up data collected from the China Education Panel Survey 2014–2015, the main factors affecting the health of adolescents were identified, and possible explanations were investigated after cluster and inductive analyses were conducted. The results showed that (1) the 10 main factors identified as affecting adolescent health promotion are in line with the four main elements of PL (emotional, cognitive, social and physical elements) and (2) the three major categories of influencing factors identified through a cluster analysis were aligned with the three main factors of PL (endogeneity, fundamentality and permeability). These findings suggest that the factors influencing adolescent health promotion are closely associated with PL. The study results can provide empirical evidence for adolescent health promotion research and a reference for the development of evidence-based PL training models.
