Aim:To Study Relationship of physical activity (PA) with body image, self-esteem, body mass index (BMI), sedentary lifestyle and eating attitude in adolescents.Methods:An observational cross-sectional study done at the Centre for Adolescent Health, Kalawati Saran Children Hospital, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India. Volunteering adolescents between the age group of 13 and 18 years were included and assessed using PA questionnaire for adolescents Score, Body Shape Questionnaire-34 Score, Rosenberg self esteem Score, adolescent sedentary activity questionnaire score, eating attitude test (EAT-26) and BMI Z-score. Relationship of these scales to various parameters was assessed using correlation and regression.Results:A total of 191 boys and girls were included in the study; 25% had underweight, 75% were normal (only 1 child had overweight and none had obesity). Three fourth (77%) of the children had low PA. The girls were relatively more inactive (83.9% girls vs. 72.1%boys). Most (90.05%) subjects did not have any concerns related to body image. Almost all the subjects had normal or high self esteem. Nearly one quarter of the subjects (23.56%) had disordered eating behaviours. Multiple regression found the PA is positively dependent on EAT 26 score and adolescent sedentary activity questionnaire (ASAQ) score (sedentary score) in girls, whereas in males ASAQ (sedentary score) score was only variable related to physical activity questionnaire for adolescents score (PAQ-A).Conclusion:Normal weight and underweight adolescents had minimal PA and despite this, almost all had normal self-esteem and body image. PA was significantly related to eating and sedentary behaviours.

“…Singh et al 24 verificaram que adolescentes que estavam com sobrepeso tiveram quatro vezes mais chance de se considerarem obesos (odds ratio [OR] ¼ 4,65; intervalo de confiança [IC] 95%; 2,13-10,12). Também foi observado que 33% dos adolescentes com IMC normal estavam insatisfeitos com a imagem corporal, o que se assemelha ao resultado encontrado no presente trabalho, visto que 39,5% dos adolescentes eutróficos apresentaram distorção da imagem corporal.…”

Introdução Na adolescência, período de aceleração do crescimento e de mudanças corporais, podem ocorrer comportamentos de contestação que tornam o indivíduo vulnerável a preocupações ligadas ao corpo e à aparência. Objetivo Verificar a presença de distorção da autopercepção da imagem corporal em adolescentes da cidade de Ribeirão Preto, SP. Métodos Estudo transversal, observacional e analítico. Foram avaliados 343 adolescentes entre 12 e 19 anos pertencentes ao Programa de Informação Profissional (PIP) da Universidade de Ribeirão Preto, SP. Os adolescentes responderam como se consideravam em relação ao seu peso corporal. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas dos participantes (peso, estatura e índice de massa corporal [IMC]). A presença de distorção da imagem corporal foi avaliada por meio da discrepância entre o IMC diagnosticado pelo profissional e o IMC percebido pelo adolescente. Resultados Houve prevalência de 41,7% de adolescentes com distorção da imagem corporal, seja por superestimação ou subestimação do tamanho do corpo. Adolescentes do sexo feminino tiveram maiores distorções da percepção da autoimagem. A superestimação da imagem corporal foi maior em adolescentes eutróficos, enquanto a subestimação foi maior em adolescentes obesos e com sobrepeso. Conclusão Os resultados indicam a necessidade de implantação de políticas públicas e de projetos dentro do âmbito escolar para a prevenção de distúrbios de imagem corporal e de transtornos alimentares, inclusive nos adolescentes eutróficos.

“…In the analyzed group we found a better knowledge of the trait of the scoliotic curve among the younger patients; we can explain this datum with the theory of sensitive phases of Martin: in puberty there is a peak in the acquisition of motor skills. This acquisition tends to decline, throughout the rest of adolescence (36,37). The perception of one's scoliosis could follow the trend of the enhancement of motor skills, with the alternation of turgor phase and proceritas phase.…”

Background. Idiopathic scoliosis is a disease caused by a deformity of the spine and is frequently found during adolescence. Sports, and so the training of motor skills and proprioception, could have a positive influence on the perception of the body schema and scoliotic deformity. Methods. We designed an observational study in which we recruited young patients with scoliosis. Analysis of the scoliotic radiographic curve was conducted with specific radiograph examination. The giving of the spine silhouette to the patient allowed the patient to quantify his/her perception of the scoliotic curve. Results. We recruited 106 young patients with scoliosis (mean age: 14.1 ± 2.2 years; age range: 8-18 years), with at least one scoliotic curve. 37.7% of the sample performed one or more of the following sporting activities: swimming, dance, gym, football, volleyball, martial arts, tennis and athletics. 34.8% of the sedentary patients reported that they did not sense their existing scoliotic curve compared to 17.5% of those who did sports (p=0.05). Conclusion. There exists a circular relationship between physical activity, physical self-concept and motorial abilities. However, there did not emerge a greater perception of young athletes compared to sedentary adolescent regarding the characteristics of their own column.
