An increase in the proportion of physically active peoples is one of the public health priorities. Particular attention should be addressed to the adolescent group with regard to their sensitivity. The purpose of our study is to determine the overall level of physical activity (PA) of urban adolescents and to evaluate its components. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. The study included the results of a survey of 415 children aged 11\u201315 years from public schools in Ukraine. We have adapted the standardized questionnaire QAPACE, which allows characterizing the level of adolescent\u2019s PA by indicators: type, duration, and intensity. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A sedentary lifestyle is typical for most Ukrainian urban adolescents. Only 30.8% of Ukrainian urban adolescents (45.4% of boys and 21.4% of girls; <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>) meet the recommended level of moderate-to-vigorous PA (at least 60 minutes per day). The chances to follow the recommended moderate-to-vigorous PA are almost 5 times higher in the group of adolescents exercising at their own wish and not by parents\u2019 direction (OR\u2009=\u20094.96; 95% CI: 2.77\u20138.90; <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>). Girls have a 3.0 higher chance of not adhering to recommendations for duration of PA (OR\u2009=\u20093.01; 95% CI: 1.95\u20134.63). They are 2.5 times more likely to lead a sedentary lifestyle (OR\u2009=\u20092.48; 95% CI: 1.54\u20133.98) than boys. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The obtained results are indicative of a lack of implementation of measures to increase physical activity, which requires public attention to this problem. A search for ways to improve public policy towards optimizing adolescents\u2019 PA is still an urgent goal for scholars and practitioners. PA-promoting measures should be developed taking into account the impact of family traditions, accessibility of sports facilities, leisure, advertising, and other factors. The obtained results are the initial stage for developing the program of physical inactivity prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/3404285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,9]],"date-time":"2020-04-09T23:30:59Z","timestamp":1586475059000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Specific Features of the Ukrainian Urban Adolescents\u2019 Physical Activity: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2860-9059","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Olena","family":"Yelizarova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Institution \u201cO.
