Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to estimate the strength of associations between physical activity, physical fitness and the built environment among 11-19 year old adolescents living in the Czech Republic. The study includes 1745 participants from 2013-2016. Physical activity was measured with the IPEN Adolescent Questionnaire and a pedometer or accelerometer. Physical fitness was tested using the INDARES system report. Built environment was identified using the IPEN Adolescent questionnaire and possibly also using geographic information systems. Only 43% of adolescents met health recommendations for physical activity, 47% of individuals could be described as physically fit. Adolescents fulfilling the recommendation are more physically fit than individuals not fulfilling the recommendation, yet the relationship between physical activity and selected physical fitness indicators reaches low dependence.
