“…Household electronic media presence (assessed by the communication scale) was negatively associated with leisure time physical activity and active commuting in males. This finding is comparable to previous findings of a negative association between TV watching and time spent in leisure physical activity amongst Taiwanese adolescents [ 33 ]. There is no previous evidence that directly associates household electronic media presence and active commuting.…”

PurposeIn Mexico, 39.5% of adolescents do not meet the World Health Organisation’s physical activity guidelines. Urbanicity is a potential correlate of physical activity. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between different aspects of urbanicity and adolescents’ physical activity.MethodsParticipants were 4,079 Mexican adolescents aged 15–18 from Mexico City and Oaxaca, Mexico. Data was collected between February and June 2016. Multiple imputation of missing data was implemented after confirming values were missing at random. Multivariable regression models examined associations between five domains of self-reported physical activity: 1) moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, 2) sports activities, 3) leisure time activities, 4) Physical Education class at school, 5) active commuting to school; and a composite measure of urbanicity and its seven sub-scores: 1) demographic, 2) economic activity, 3) built environment, 4) communication, 5) education, 6) diversity and 7) health services. Multivariable regression models were adjusted for parents’ education and participants’ age.ResultsUrbanicity was positively associated with activity spent in Physical Education class. The association between urbanicity and sport activities depended on state context. Communication-based urbanicity was negatively associated with leisure physical activity and active commuting. Population density was positively associated with active commuting.ConclusionUrbanicity is associated with adolescents’ physical activity in Mexico. Findings were largely consistent between Mexico City and Oaxaca and highlight the value of examining urbanicity as a multidimensional construct.

“…Cabe observar a diferença para os países desenvolvidos tais como Austrália e Canadá, com populações originárias, que geram dados relevantes e já superaram a citada "invisibilidade estatística" 34 (e, portanto, epidemiológica) que observamos no presente estudo. Em países desenvolvidos com populações originárias tais como Austrália, Canadá, Nova Zelândia e Estados Unidos, diversos estudos já tratam da temática da inatividade física nestas populações, incluindo as que residem em área urbana, sendo esta a realidade mais presente nestes países [35][36][37][38][39][40][41] . Muitas vezes estes países dispõem de sistemas de informação próprios onde se pode recuperar dados sobre diversas condições de saúde da população indígena (urbana e rural), incluindo aí a prevalência de inatividade física.…”

Embora a inatividade física esteja relacionada ao risco aumentado de doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis, existe pouca pesquisa publicada sobre a saúde de populações indígenas em área urbana nos países da América do Sul. O presente estudo conduziu revisão sistemática da literatura investigando a inatividade física em populações indígenas residindo em área urbana na América do Sul, identificando as prevalências encontradas, o instrumento utilizado para mensuração e o país de publicação. Realizou-se busca nas bases de dados Medline, Embase, ERIC, PsycInfo, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, teses e dissertações considerando descritores definidos. Considerou-se como critérios de inclusão: ser estudo com dados populacionais primários ou secundários, com populações indígenas residindo em área urbana em país da América do Sul, publicados entre os anos de 2008 a 2018. Ao final, 5 registros foram analisados na íntegra e tratavam de populações indígenas no Brasil, com prevalências de inatividade física variando de 28,8% a 64,5% da população, coletadas por meio de questionários variados. Em 3 estudos a inatividade física mensurada foi maior que a registrada para a população não-indígena urbana no Brasil no ano de 2013. Constituem limitações a pouca generalização dos dados dos estudos e a diversidade dos instrumentos utilizados. A temática da inatividade física em populações indígenas em área urbana é recente e necessária a um novo conceito de saúde indígena que considere esta parcela da população. Sugere-se que futuros estudos abranjam os países do Caribe e América Central, em especial. Palavras-chave: Exercício Físico. Povos indígenas. América do Sul.

“…Forming positive habits of participating in LTPA is an important way of recharging vitality and this requires not just the knowledge of the consequences of involvement or not, but also associate with the current status of physical activity of the present younger generation and the factors that determine it (Lo et al, 2015). There are numerous factors that determine level of participation in LTPA.…”

Despite the numerous benefits associated with leisure time physical activity (LTPA), it is quite worrisome that the habit of regularly engaging in LTPA is rare among Nigerians, especially among adolescents who are found in myriads of sedentary lifestyle behaviour as a result of technological and economical advancement. The present study examined socio-demographic and psychological determinants of LTPA among adolescents in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted and multistage sampling technique was employed to recruit 1200 adolescents (Male =59.7%; Female =40.3%; Age: 10-19years) from twelve secondary schools in Southwest States, Nigeria. Physical Activity Self-Efficacy for Adolescent (PASE), The Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS), Activity Questionnaire for Adults and Adolescents (AQuAA) and Self-developed Socio-demographic Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using statistics of frequency count, percentages & Multiple Regression. The result of the study showed that socio-demographic (F(8,1191) = 4.980; p< .05; R2 = .28) accounting for 28% of its variance and psychological factors (F (2,1197) =31014.342, p< .05; R2 = .99) accounting for 99% of its variance) were significant. Based on the findings, adolescents in Southwest states in Nigeria do not meet the World Health Organization recommendations on physical activity. Both socio-demographic and psychological factors significantly determined LTPA and these factors could be taken into account in the development of interventions to increase LTPA levels throughout the life course among adolescents in Nigeria.

Contextual factors influencing leisure physical activity of urbanized indigenous adolescents

Abstract: No significant ethnic differences were found in LPA participation. LPA was significantly correlated with age, male sex, total time spent watching television, life satisfaction, and enjoyment of exercise.
