Associação entre a aptidão física relacionada à saúde e o desempenho acadêmico em adolescentes

Abstract

-This study aimed to verify the association between health-related physical fitness and academic performance in adolescents. Overall, 326 students aged 15-18 years of the Federal Institute of Sergipe (IFS) participated in this cross-sectional study. Data relating to physical fitness were collected by applying the following tests: body mass index, sit and reach, abdominal in one minute and one mile running, which comprise the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance testing battery. Academic performance was measured by the grades of two-month period in the disciplines that comprise the following areas of knowledge: languages and codes, natural sciences and humanities, obtained from the IFS school record. Students with average grades ≥ 6.0 were considered on satisfactory academic performance. The prevalence of physical unfitness in the sample was 15.8% (girls 15.4%; boys 16.4%) in body composition, 32.3% (girls 23.1%; boys 41.5%) in flexibility, 93.0% (95.8% girls; 90.2% boys) in muscular strength and 86.9% (85.3% girls; 88.5% boys) in cardiorespiratory endurance. On academic performance, the prevalence of adolescents below the average grade was 8.8% (girls 5.6%; boys 12.0%) in languages and codes, 24.5% (girls 19.5%; boys 29.5%) in natural sciences and 12.8% (girls 11.9%; boys 13.7%) in humanities. Adolescents with low cardiorespiratory endurance levels were more likely to have worse academic performance (OR=2.39; CI95%=1.05 to 5.44). It was concluded that low cardiorespiratory endurance levels were associated with worse academic performance.Key words: Adolescents; Physical fitness; Academic performance. 15,8% (moças 15,4%; rapazes 16,4%) na composição corporal, 32,3% (moças 23,1%; rapazes 41,5%) na flexibilidade, 93,0% (moças 95,8%; rapazes 90,2%) (OR=2,39; IC95%=1,44). Conclui-se que baixo nível de resistência cardiorrespiratória se associou com pior desempenho acadêmico.

Abdominal muscular endurance in Brazilian children and adolescents: systematic review of cross-sectional studies

“…Of the 17 studies included in this review, seven studies performed the curl-up test following the protocol established by the PROESP/BR battery 15,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . Another seven studies used the protocol established by AAHPERD 11,12,14,16,[26][27][28][29] , two studies used the test as proposed by FIT-NESSGRAM 13,[30][31] and one study 33 used protocol described by Guedes et al 32 . Of studies that used the PROESP/BR 15,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] standardization, six titled the curl-up test of 60s 15,[20][21][22][23]25 and one study titled it curl-up test 24 .…”

“…Of studies that used the PROESP/BR 15,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] standardization, six titled the curl-up test of 60s 15,[20][21][22][23]25 and one study titled it curl-up test 24 . One study that followed the protocol suggested by AAHPERD referred to the test as curl-up of 60s 27 , another five studies referred as a modified curl-up test of 60s 11,12,16,[28][29] and another study as curl-up test 14 . The tests that followed the FITNESSGRAM battery 30 were denominated as modified curl-up test 13 and curl-up test 31 , and the study that followed the protocol of Guedes et al 32 called it modified curl-up test (Table 1).…”

“…Table 3 shows the risk of bias assessment of each study included in the systematic review. It was observed that of the 17 studies included in the review, 14 presented low risk of bias 11,[13][14][15][16][20][21][22]24,25,27,28,31,33 and three presented moderate risk of bias 12,23,19 .…”

“…With respect to the risk of bias, 14 of the 17 articles included in this review were classified as having low risk of bias 11,[13][14][15][16][20][21][22]24,25,27,28,31,33 and other three studies 12,23,29 as moderate risk of bias. None of the studies included met questions 6 and 12 of the methodological quality instrument, which referred to the evaluation of the exposure before the measurement of the result and if the evaluator of results was blind.…”

Obesidade e aptidão física relacionada à saúde: um estudo com escolares de 10 a 13 anos de Santa Cruz do Sul - Brasil

“…Os resultados de estudo 20 realizado no município de Montes Claros (MG) também apontaram que tanto o sexo masculino (75,6%) quanto o feminino (53,2%) obtiveram índices elevados de flexibilidade. Já na cidade de São Cristóvão (SE), a flexibilidade dos adolescentes analisados foi verificada abaixo dos critérios mínimos de saúde, sendo que o sexo masculino obteve maior índice abaixo destes critérios 23 . Da mesma forma, no município de Rio Grande (RS), outro estudo 24 apontou que escolares do sexo feminino obtiveram melhor classificação em relação ao sexo masculino.…”
