The purpose of the study was to examine the daily activity of the 11- to 18-year-old Hong Kong secondary school children. Two hundred and seventeen Hong Kong secondary school children (males = 109; females = 108) were surveyed. The physical activity questionnaire was employed as the survey tool to assess the daily activity. Two-way ANOVA was carried out to compare the effects of gender and age in the mean of each daily activity . F-ratios were calculated for detecting significant differences between groups (p<0.05). One-way ANOVA was used followed by Scheffe posthoc tests to distinguish the age groups which were significantly different. The results indicated that in relation to gender, sports activities were significantly different both during school days and holiday, and study activities were significantly different during school days. In relation to age groups, study activities were significantly different between age groups both during school days and holidays, and sleeping was significantly different between age groups during school days only. The findings suggest that activity levels tend to be lower in girls than in boys and tend to decrease with age.

本研究目的是觀察11至18歲學童的日常起居活動。這項研究利用問卷調查了二百一十七名香港的中學生(男生=109人;女生=108人)。資料的分析方法是採用「二因子變異數分析法」去比較性別及年齡對各項活動的影響。以「F比值」去試探三組不同年齡學童的顯著差異。在性別與年齡沒有交互作用情況下,進一步以「單因子變異數分析法」及「薛費法」去進行事後比較測試年齡組別的顯著分別。研究結果顯示,以性別而言,體育活動在上學的日子與假期有顯著差異,但睡眠則只在上學的日子有顯著差異。總括而言,女學生的活動水平比男學生為低,而且是隨年齡而遞減的。
