Distância percebida até as instalações de lazer e sua associação com a prática de atividade física e de exercícios em adolescentes de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil
Abstract:The aim of this study was to verify the association between perceived distance to recreational facilities (parks, gyms, sports courts, and bike lanes) for physical activity and exercise among adolescents in Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of 1,474 adolescents (14-18 years) enrolled in public schools. There was an inverse association between distance (> 31 minutes) to gyms and sports courts and physical activity among boys (PR = 0.78; 95%CI: 0.6… Show more

Objective:To analyze the agreement between two cutoff points for physical activity (300 and
420 minutes/week) and associated factors in youth.Methods:The study enrolled 738 adolescents of Londrina city, Paraná, Southern Brazil. The
following variables were collected by a self report questionnaire: presence of
moderate to vigorous physical activity, gender, age, father and mother education
level, with whom the adolescent lives, number of siblings, physical activity
perception, participation in Physical Education classes, facilities available to
physical activity practice and sedentary behavior. Prevalence of physical activity
between criterions were compared using McNemar test and the agreement was analysed
by Kappa index. Multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson regression with
robust variance adjustment was applied.Results:The prevalence for physical activity was significantly different: 22,3% for 300
minutes/week and 12,8% for 420 minutes/week (p<0,05), but the
agreement was strong (k=0,82, p<0,001). The variables gender,
father education, physical activity perception and sedentary behavior were
associated to physical activity in both analyzed criteria. Participation in
Physical Education class and facilities available to physical activity practice
were associated to physical activity only with 300 minutes/week cutoff point.Conclusion:Caution is suggested regarding cutoffs use for physical activity in
epidemiological studies, considering they can result in differences in prevalence
of physical activity and its associated factors.

OBJECTIVE: To verify the associations of leisure walking with perceived and objective measures of neighborhood environmental factors stratified by gender and socioeconomic status (SES) in Brazilian adolescents. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,130 high school students (47.3% girls; aged 14 to 20 years old) from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Leisure walking and SES were self-reported by the adolescents. Perceived environmental factors were assessed through Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth (NEWS-Y). Objective measures were evaluated using Geographic Information Systems, with road network calculated around the adolescent’s residential address, using 0.5km and 1.0km buffers. Data collection was carried out in 2017 and generalized linear regression models were used. RESULTS: Leisure walking was positively associated with access to services (0.5 km buffers [Odds ratio (OR) = 2.22] 1.0 km buffers [OR = 2.17]) and lower distance to parks and squares (0.5 km [OR=2.80] 1.0 km [OR = 2.73]) in girls from low SES. Residential density (0.5 km [OR = 1.57] 1.0 km [OR = 1.54]) and walkability index (0.5 km [OR = 1.17] 1.0 km [OR = 1.20]) were associated with leisure walking in girls from middle SES. Boys from low SES showed an inverse association between crime safety and leisure walking (0.5 km [OR = 0.59] 1.0 km [OR = 0.63]). Neighborhood recreation facilities was positively associated with leisure walking in middle SES (0.5 km [OR = 1.55] 1.0 km [OR = 1.60]). Land use mix (0.5 km [OR = 1.81] 1.0 km [OR = 1.81]), neighborhood recreation facilities (0.5 km [OR = 2.32] 1.0 km [OR = 2.28]) and places for walking (0.5 km [OR=2.07] 1.0 km [OR=2.22]) were positively associated with leisure walking in high SES. CONCLUSION: Environmental factors (objectively and subjectively measured) and leisure walking show association in boys and girls of different SES.
Objetivo: Investigar o nível de interesse dos jovens em participar das aulas de educa-ção física, sua prática esportiva fora do ambiente escolar e os seus hábitos de lazer no tempo livre e comparar estas variáveis pelo sexo dos participantes. Método: participaram do estudo 621 estudantes do ensino médio de uma Escola de referência da cidade de Petrolina-PE; a escolha dos investigados foi intencional e por acessibilidade. Resultados: do total de 621 alunos pesquisados 78,6% gostam das aulas de Educação Física; 63,1% desse total responde-ram não praticar nenhum esporte ou exercício físico depois do horário das aulas; 38,6% de-monstraram que o esporte é bastante importante, em contrapartida 57,9% dos investigados apresentou sedentarismo quanto os hábitos de lazer durante os finais de semana. Das relações entre os sexos: 8,5% e 29,3% do público masculino e feminino respectivamente, respondeu não gostar das aulas de educação física; 60,1% do público masculino respondeu praticar al-gum esporte ou exercício físico depois do horário das aulas, enquanto que apenas 21,3% do público feminino apresentou o mesmo resultado; 19,7% do masculino pratica as atividades físicas extraescolares cinco vezes por semana e 14,8% do feminino pratica na mesma intensi-dade; não foi encontrada diferença significativa quanto aos hábitos de lazer durante os finais de semana e 5,3% daqueles que praticam esporte após as aulas responderam não gostar das aulas de educação física contra 64,2,% dos não praticantes. Conclusão: Constatou que o pú-blico masculino apresentou um maior interesse pelas aulas de Educação Física, bem como é grupo de alunos que mais pratica atividades esportivas fora do ambiente escolar, mas nos fi-nais de semana os participantes em sua totalidade preferem adotar hábitos sedentários em seu tempo livre.
