“…However, only 4 of these articles [13][14][15][16] were included in this report card since the other 39 articles did not provide any estimates of the percentage of children and adolescents meeting the PA recommendations. In total, 4 studies objectively measured MVPA [13][14][15][16] and 1 subjectively measured SB (screen time; ie, TV/DVD/video viewing) 13 in relation to the recommendations. The amount of children reaching the recommendation for overall PA was assessed via those who fulfilled the recommendations of greater than 60 minutes of MVPA in accordance with the NNR.…”

“…13 Three older reports in this age group used lower cut-points for MVPA and reported that as many as 93% to 100% of 8-to 11-year-old children (boys and girls) fulfilled the recommendation. [14][15][16] For adolescents, 10% and 15% of 13-and 15-year-olds reached the allotted 60 minutes. 23 …”

Background:The 2016 Swedish Report Card on Physical Activity (PA) for Children and Youth is a unique compilation of the existing physical and health related data in Sweden. The aim of this article is to summarize the procedure and results from the report card.Methods:Nationally representative surveys and individual studies published between 2005–2015 were included. Eleven PA and health indicators were graded using the Active Healthy Kids Canada grading system. Grades were assigned based on the percentage of children/youth meeting a defined benchmark (A: 81% to 100%, B: 61% to 80%, C: 41% to 60%, D: 21% to 40%, F: 0% to 20%, or incomplete (INC).Results:The assigned grades were Overall Physical Activity, D; Organized Sport Participation, B+; Active Play, INC; Active Transportation, C+; Sedentary Behaviors, C; Family and Peers, INC; School, C+; Community and the Built Environment, B; Government Strategies and Investments, B; Diet, C-; and Obesity, D.Conclusions:The included data provides some support that overall PA is too low and sedentary behavior is too high for almost all age groups in Sweden, even with the many national policies as well as an environment that is favorable to the promotion of PA.

Sin embargo, hemos de señalar que los resultados expuestos pueden contener un cierto sesgo debido a que no incluyen a las 10 mujeres con un sobrepeso evidente que no pudieron incluirse en el estudio por negarse a ser medidas y/o pesadas.…”

Fundamento: La creciente preocupación por la salud ha suscitado un enorme interés en el estudio de los factores que inciden sobre ella. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la influencia del nivel de actividad física (NAF) en la salud de los adolescentes y determinar su relación con la presión arterial (PA) y la composición corporal.Métodos: La investigación se realizó entre noviembre de 2002 y febrero de 2003 utilizando el Cuestionario Modificable de Actividad Física para Adolescentes que mide el nivel de actividad física. También se midieron la composición corporal y la presión arterial, en una muestra compuesta por 554 adolescentes de 35 centros educativos de Madrid, con edades comprendidas entre 12 y 18 años. Resultados:Resultaron inactivos el 13,2% de los varones y el 36,4% de las mujeres. Los promedios para las PA sistólica/diastólica fueron de 125,6/71,3 mmHg en los varones y 118/69,4 mmHg en las mujeres, pero sólo se detectó influencia del nivel de actividad física en la PA diastólica para los varones. Presentaron tendencia al sobrepeso el 48,27% de las mujeres frente al 13,53% de los hombres. En el caso de las mujeres se encontró relación entre adiposidad corporal y nivel de actividad física.Conclusiones: El nivel de actividad física se presenta como un factor asociado a la salud de los adolescentes, si bien se manifiesta de forma distinta en cada sexo. En los hombres afecta significativamente a la PA diastólica, mientras que en las mujeres su influencia se detecta en el grado de adiposidad corporal. ABSTRACT Relationship of the Degree of Physical Activity, Blood Pressure and Body Fat among Teenagers in MadridBackground: It is throughout childhood and adolescence that many behavior patterns which are going to have a powerful influence on health during adult life are established. This study is aimed at analysing the influence physical activity has on the health of adolescents and at determining the relationship thereof with blood pressure (BP) and body composition. Methods:The research was conducted from November 2002 to February 2003, using the Modifiable Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents, which measures the degree of physical activity. The anthropometric variables and blood pressure were also measured for the sample comprised of 554 adolescents within the 12-18 age range from 35 schools in Madrid.Results: A total of 13.2% of the males and 36.4% of the females were found to be inactive. The averages for the systolic/diastolic BP were 125.6/71.3 mmHg in the males and 118/69.4 mmHg in the females, but physical activity was found to have an influence solely on the diastolic BP for the males. A total of 48.27% of the females showed a tendency toward being overweight, as compared to 13.53% of the males. In the case of the females, a relationship was found to exist between body fat and degree of physical activity. Conclusions:The degree of physical activity shows itself to be a factor related to the health of adolescents, although taking on a different focus in each gender. Among the males, ...
