Introduction: Physical activity is a health risk factor and an important public health issue. In childhood, low physical activity exerts a negative impact on normal physical and mental development, which is a prerequisite for diseases later in life. The aim of the present study is to perform a comparative analysis of the results for the physical activity levels in children aged 10-19 years in 2014 and in 2020, with a view to stepping up interventions in the field of health promotion and chronic NCD prevention. Material and methods: Data from both the National Survey of Health Risk Factors among the Population in the Republic of Bulgaria – 2014 and the National Survey – 2020 were used, comprising 530 and 513 children, respectively. The samples were from all state provinces, selected randomly on the basis of lists from the information array of the Ministry of Education and Science. The students included in the clusters were also randomly selected; a standardized WHO questionnaire was used. Statistical data processing was performed using SPSS software package. Results: Both studies found that every third student practiced sports once a week, while 29.7% and 31.3% - less often or not at all, with the share of the girls being almost twice as high as that of the boys. In both sexes, less physically active were the children aged 15- 19 years (34.5% and 39.9% for 2014 and 24.2% and 46% for 2020, respectively), being more evident among the girls. 7.6% of the respondents in 2014 and 9.6% in 2020 did not engage in sports or other physical activity during their leisure time, including due to illness or disability, with the proportion of the girls significantly exceeding that of the boys. Conclusion: The outcomes indicate the need to undertake more effective intervention activities to increase physical activity of adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
