Comparison between girls and boys lifestyle profile and physical activity

Abstract

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o perfil de estilo de vida e a prática de atividade física entre meninas e meninos. Participaram do estudo 336 escolares, de 11 a 17 anos de de idade (51,5% sexo feminino). Foram avaliados a estatura, massa corporal, maturação sexual e índice de massa corporal escore z (IMC-z). O nível de atividade física (AF) foi analisado pelo International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). O estilo de vida foi avaliado por meio do questionário Perfil do Estilo de Vida Individual (PEVI), analisando ototal de escores dos cinco componentes, considerando-se como pontos de corte: >30 pontos = PEVI favorável e ≤30 pontos = PEVI desfavorável. Observou-se que 35,1% dos escolares foram considerados acima do peso, 74,78% não cumprem as recomendações de atividade física e 31,5% apresentaram PEVI desfavorável. Existiu diferença entre meninos e meninas para a prática de atividade física moderada e vigorosa (AFMV) (p = 0,048). Os meninos apresentaram melhor estilo de vida (p = 0,06) e praticam em média mais AF leve (p < 0,01), AF moderada (p < 0,01), AF vigorosa (p < 0,01) e AFMV (p < 0,01) do que meninas. Enquanto as meninas com PEVI favorável praticam em média mais AF leve do que aquelas com PEVI desfavorável (p < 0,001). Concluiu-se que meninos praticam mais AF na semana em relação às meninas, entretanto possuem menor preocupação com comportamentos preventivos e relacionamentos. A prática de AF leve foi maior em meninas com perfil de estilo de vida favorável.

Learning about the contents of physical fitness, specifying the importance of physical activity for health and sedentary lifestyle as an obstacle in adolescents, after intervention of theoretical and practical teaching based on problems / Aprender sobre os conteúdos da aptidão física, especificando a importância da atividade física para a saúde e o estilo de vida sedentário como um obstáculo na adolescência, após intervenção de ensino teórico e prático baseado em problemas

“…As we advance in a didactic sequence that allows students to understand the contents of physical fitness, it becomes possible to incorporate positive values and behaviors in relation to the practice of physical activities (SPOHR et al, 2014), as proposed by Dos Santos et al (2019) and Fernandes et al (2021). Perhaps learning has favored the origin of the motivation proposed by Balbinotti and Capolozzi (2008) and the increase in the level of self-determination that, according to the study of , can promote an increase in the level of physical activity (TOZO et al, 2021;LOUREIRO et al, 2021).…”

“…And this is not just any physical education class, but one in which health is part of the teaching curriculum (DOS SANTOS et al, 2019;FERNANDES et al, 2021), that seeks behavioral changes regarding the practice of physical activities by students (TOZO et al, 2021), such as choosing the travel strategy to go to school (LOUREIRO et al, 2021).…”

Moderation of Physical Activity between Cardiometabolic Risk and Adiponectin in Adolescents

“…Studies have verified the relationship of physical activity level with physical and metabolic health of adolescents, indicating that physical activity is inversely associated with adiposity and cardiometabolic risk 8 12 . In contrast, sufficient levels of physical activity can lead to significant improvements in physical fitness, reduction of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk 13 .…”

“…According to the latest estimates, the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents aged 5–19 years increased from 4.9% in 2010 to 6.8% in 2016 worldwide 6 . The increased prevalence of obesity in this population has been considered a global health problem 6 and is associated with the appearance of comorbidities 7 8 . Obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors during childhood and adolescence may lead to an increase in the progression of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood 9 , and some adipocytokines, such as adiponectin, may predict future cardiovascular events 10 .…”

Family history of arterial hypertension and central adiposity: impact on blood pressure in schoolchildren

“…In addition to genetic predisposition, an environmental aspect that has reached large proportions and is related to AH is physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle which, associated with inadequate nutrition, result in obesity [12][13][14], lower cardiorespiratory fitness and metabolic disorders in children and adolescents [15]. The influence of lifestyle on the health of different population groups, including children and adolescents that can lead to numerous diseases, among them, AH is discussed and analyzed in a comprehensive way [16][17][18].…”
