To determine adolescent outdoor physical activity preferences and examine whether alignment between preferred and actual activities increases adherence to physical activity guidelines and enhances well-being.
Surveyed 10,086 adolescents from the Czech Republic and Poland on outdoor physical activity preferences.
Administered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Long Form) and the World Health Organization (WHO-5) Well-Being Index to a subgroup of 2,446 participants.
Monitored objective physical activity levels using pedometers in a subset of 1,278 respondents.
Boys preferred cycling, swimming, and downhill skiing, while girls prioritized swimming, skating, and cycling.
Agreement between preferred and actually performed outdoor activities was significantly associated with higher odds of meeting weekly physical activity guidelines and achieving higher well-being in both sexes.
