OBJETIVO: Associar a prevalência de Atividade Física com os hábitos alimentares em escolares de ambos os sexos com idades entre 11 a 17 anos em duas escolas públicas da cidade de Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brasil. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi composta por 177 escolares de ambos os sexos, de duas escolas públicas da cidade de Ponta Grossa, utilizou-se o questionário WebCas, para analisar os dados foram distribuídos em medidas de tendência central e dispersão, e recorreu-se ao teste de Qui-quadrado. RESULTADOS: O número final do estudo foi de 153 participantes, sendo 52,9% do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 14,3 anos (±2,0). O nível de Atividade Física da amostra em geral foi insuficientemente ativo (63,4%). Em relação aos hábitos alimentares em uma proporção de consumo semanal, os percentuais mais elevados foram direcionados ao consumo adequado de refrigerantes (69,9%), doces (64,7%), salgados e frituras (81,7%), e ao consumo inadequado de frutas (60,8%) e verduras (53,6%). A associação do nível de Atividade Física aos hábitos alimentares apresentou resultados significativos ao consumo de refrigerantes (p=0,03). CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se, sobre a atividade física insuficiente e o baixo consumo de frutas entre os escolares, porém a associação foi significativa com o nível de Atividade Física e o consumo de refrigerantes. Sugere-se novos estudos, especialmente de intervenção que abordem a influência do nível de Atividade Física e dos hábitos alimentares dos indicadores de saúde entre os escolares.ABSTRACT. Association between physical activity and eating habits in schoolchildren aged 11 to 17 years oldOBJECTIVE: To associate the prevalence of Physical Activity with eating habits in schoolchildren of both sexes aged between 11 and 17 years old in two public schools in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. METHODS: The sample consisted of 177 students of both sexes, from two public schools in the city of Ponta Grossa. The WebCas questionnaire was used for the analysis, the data were distributed in measures of central tendency and dispersion, and the test was used of Chi-square. RESULTS: The final number of the study was 153 participants, with 52.9% male, with a mean age of 14.3 years (±2.0). The physical activity level of the sample in general was insufficiently active (63.4%). In relation to eating habits in a proportion of weekly consumption, the highest percentages were directed to the adequate consumption of soft drinks (69.9%), sweets (64.7%), savory and fried foods (81.7%), and to inadequate consumption of fruits (60.8%) and vegetables (53.6%). The association of level of physical activity with eating habits showed significant results with the consumption of soft drinks (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, insufficient physical activity and low fruit consumption among students, however, the association was significant with the level of physical activity and consumption of soft drinks. New studies are suggested that address the influence of the level of physical activity and eating habits on the health indicators of schoolchildren.

The study investigated the association between health-related behaviors, coping strategies and social media usage in young adults during COVID-19 smart lockdown as well as the mediating role of coping strategies between the relationships. It was hypothesized that coping strategies mediates the relationship between health-related behaviors and social media usage in young adults during COVID-19 smart lockdown. Through purposive sampling technique, data from (N=300) young adults with age range 18-35 years (M=23.67, SD= 3.78) was collected from three private universities of Lahore. For data collection, lifestyle behavior change questionnaire by Chopra et al. (2021), coping scale by Hamby et al. (2013) and social networking usage questionnaire by Savita and Liyaqat (2018) were used. For the analysis, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Mediation analysis, independent sample t-test and Analysis of variance were used. Coping strategies significantly mediated between health-related behaviors and social media usage in young adults during COVID-19 smart lockdown. Findings have practical implications for the expansion of different strategies for other population like adolescents, old age people, teachers, parents, anddoctors, expecting to cope better with others during stressful or traumatic events.
