Associação entre estrutura da escola com a atividade física na aula de educação física e no recreio

Abstract

-The aim of this study was to verify the association between the characteristics of the school structure and the physical activity of students in the physical education class and school recess. This is an association study with quantitative approach. The random sample is composed of 176 schoolchildren (71 boys and 105 girls) from 10 schools of the city of Passo Fundo-RS, Brazil. Physical activity was evaluated with a pedometer, after which the average number of steps in the physical education class and school recess was calculated. The characteristics of the school structure were evaluated by direct observation, with the audit tool in the school. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test and generalized linear regression. The mean number of steps among boys was higher when compared to girls in the physical education class (t=3.478, p<0.001, d cohen=0.62) and in the school recess (t=2.537, p<0.01; d cohen=0.45). The number of steps in physical education class was not associated with the characteristics of the school structure. In the school recess, an inverse association was found, where boys enrolled in schools with regular quality structure performed on average 208.04 (95%CI=16.44/399.65; p=0.03) steps when compared to boys enrolled in schools with good quality structure. Schools that have bigger and/or better structure do not necessarily influence adolescents in the practice of physical activity in school recess and physical education classes.Key words: Adolescents; Motor activity; Student's health.

Associação entre as variáveis individuais e ambientais do contexto escolar com a aptidão cardiorrespiratória de adolescentes

“…Nesse sentindo, na perspectiva de colaborar com os fatores associados à aptidão cardiorrespiratória dos jovens, alguns estudos têm investigado as diferenças das estruturas para a prática de atividade física das escolas brasileiras 15,[20][21][22] . Tais diferenças na quantidade e qualidade das estruturas parecem ser atribuídas principalmente, a questões socioeconômicas da região onde a escola está localizada, e frequentemente tem sido destacada como um possível fator associado com a aptidão física dos escolares.…”

“…Relação que de fato foi verifi cada no presente estudo, onde os resultados apontam para uma associação da variável "ter quadra poliesportiva na escola" com os níveis de aptidão cardiorrespiratória (β: 0,884; IC95%: 0,842-0,928; p: 0,0001). Esses resultados se diferenciam dos de Dias et al (2017) 22 , em que não foram encontradas associações entre o número de passos na aula de educação física e as características da estrutura da escola.…”

Characterization of the physical education environment and practice in public schools

“…In Brazil, 46.8% of public schools are not equipped with sports courts 13 . Some authors argue that public schools with more extensive or better physical structures do not necessarily influence adolescents' engagement in physical education during school play and physical education classes 14 . However, school spaces with favorable conditions can benefit activities planned by teachers and, consequently, increase the students' level of physical activity.…”
