“…In this aspect, our study results are convergent with observational research findings of Brito et al that indicate the low level of physical activity among educators [27]. Other authors claim that the positive evaluation of the quality of life correlates with the high level of physical activity [28].…”

Background: Back pain represents one of the most common diseases across various populations of workers worldwide. This study analyzes the prevalence and severity of back pain, based on selected demographic variables, and the relationship with physical activity among school teachers. Material and Methods: The study included 998 professionally active teachers (840 females and 158 males) from the southern part of Poland. Validated psychometric tools, namely: 1) for evaluation of disability due to back pain -a Polish version of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Neck Disability Index (NDI), 2) for physical activity assessment -the Subjective Experience of Work Load (SEWL) as well as the authors' supplementary questionnaire, addressing demographic and anthropometric variables were used. Results: There was no correlation between age and the NDI scores in females (r = 0.027), in contrast to males (r = 0.202; p ≤ 0.05). Statistically significant correlations (p ≤ 0.05) were reported between: age and the ODI, in both females (r = 0.219) and males (r = 0.180). No associations between the body mass index (BMI)-ODI, and BMI-NDI were found. In the case of women, disability related to low back pain (LBP) had a negative impact on the indicators of their activity during work, sports, and leisure time. In the case of men, the NDI and ODI scores did not differ, based on activity indicators. Conclusions: Our findings confirm that back pain represents a serious concern among teachers. Age appears to be a prognostic factor, while no association between the BMI and LBP has been revealed. The limitation of physical activity leads to more frequent back pain. Med Pr 2015;66(6):771-778

“…São inúmeros os estudos que avaliaram o nível de atividade física na população brasileira [4][5][6][7]9,11,12,[17][18][19][20]28 . Entretanto, investigações que avaliaram o mesmo por instrumentos distintos são escassos na literatura nacional 15,[17][18][19] .…”

“…Nestes estudos em que o NAF foi avaliado, observa-se com frequência a utilização do IPAQ 9,10 e do Pedômetro [11][12][13][14] , ambos os instrumentos sendo de fácil aplicabilidade e custo relativamente baixo, se tornando assim uma opção muito interessante para este tipo de levantamento.…”

“…Na população de professores da educação básica são escassos os estudos que avaliaram este comportamento. Além dessa escassez, a grande maioria dos estudos se concentram em grandes centros populacionais 9,20 , existindo assim poucas investigações a respeito do nível de atividade física em populações do interior 13,21 . Além disso, investigações que buscaram verificar a concordância entre diferentes instrumentos na avaliação do NAF não foram identificados na literatura para a população em questão.…”

RESUMOAs doenças cardiovasculares são as principais causas de óbito nacional, sendo o sedentarismo um importante fator de risco neste processo degenerativo. O objetivo foi avaliar o nível de atividade física (NAF) de docentes na rede pública de ensino de Viçosa MG por meio de dois instrumentos distintos e a concordância obtida entre eles. Participaram desta investigação 200 professores de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 25 e 68 anos. O NAF foi mensurado pelo Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e por meio da utilização de um pedômetro. Foram realizados os cálculos das prevalências de indivíduos ativos e não ativos fisicamente e posteriormente o índice Kappa (K) para estabelecer a concordância entre os instrumentos. Todas as análises foram realizadas no software MedCalc, versão 14. 10. 2 e SPSS, versão 20. Pelo IPAQ, 70% dos professores atingiram níveis adequados de atividade física (AF), enquanto, pelo pedômetro apenas 26.5%. A concordância entre as cinco categorias do pedômetro e do IPAQ não foi significativa, assim como na classificação em ativos e não ativos, entre os instrumentos. Conclui-se que avaliando o NAF através do IPAQ foi possível perceber que a maioria dos docentes foram classificados como ativos. Entretanto quando se considera o limiar de 10000 passos/dia de média, utilizando o pedômetro como instrumento de avaliação do NAF, a maior parte do grupo não pode ser considerada ativa. Além disso, não houve concordância entre os instrumentos para a avaliação do NAF. Palavras Chave: Atividade Motora. Docentes. Estilo de Vida Sedentário. ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases are the main causes of national death, and sedentary is an important risk factor in this degenerative process. To evaluate the level of physical activity (LPA) of teachers in the public school system of Viçosa MG by means of two distinct instruments and the agreement obtained between them. A total of 200 teachers of both genders, aged between 25 and 68, participated in this research. LPA was measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and through the use of a pedometer. The calculations of the prevalence of active and non-physically active individuals were performed, and the Kappa (K) index was subsequently used to establish agreement between the instruments. All analyzes were performed in MedCalc software, version 14. 10. 2 and SPSS, version 20. For the IPAQ, 70% of teachers reached adequate levels of physical activity (LPA), while by the pedometer only 26.5%. The agreement between the five categories of the pedometer and the IPAQ was not significant, as well as in the classification in active and non-active, between the instruments. In conclusion evaluating the LPA through the IPAQ it was possible to perceive that the majority of the teachers were classified as active. However, when considering the threshold of 10000 steps/day of average, using the pedometer as an instrument of evaluation of the NAF, the majority of the group cannot be considered active. In addition, there was no agreement between ...

“…This situation is in contrast to an intense work pace, which requires high levels of attention and concentration, necessary for the good performance of teaching activities. 22,23 In a study with professors, physical inactivity was prevalent in 79.7% of the professors, who were linked to the variables: female individuals, older and with lower socioeconomic status. 23 The level of physical activity in professors of upper public state education oscillates according to the age of each professor.…”

Objective: To investigate the practice of physical activity among scholar professors focusing on their quality of life. Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out with 121 professors at one of the campuses of a state university in the State of Paraná, using a questionnaire created by Baecke and adapted for the study. Estudio transversal, realizado con 121 docentes, en uno de los campus de una universidad estadual del Estado de Paraná, en el que se utilizó un cuestionario creado por Baecke, adaptado para el estudio. Resultados: El grupo analizado presentó un nivel de actividad física inadecuado de 54,4%, con media de masa corporal 26,20, lo que es considerado como sobrepeso. Conclusión:El estudio indicó que los docentes no practican actividad física a nivel de lo preconizado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, siendo mayoritariamente sedentarios y presentando quejas de ansiedad. Se aconseja la realización de acciones direccionadas a la salud de los docentes, para que modifiquen su estilo de vida, con la realización de actividades físicas regulares y una dieta balanceada, para así mejorar la calidad de vida.Palabras clave: Actividad física; Docentes; Salud del trabajador; Sobrepeso.
