“…We found that 36.5% students reported weekly practice of physical activity, which is in accordance with similar studies [23,25]. Moreover, in our study, statistically significant increase in the total SF-36 score (P = 0.001) was observed with increasing of frequency of physical activity.…”

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19] Among adolescents and young adults, researchers 20-22 also have noted fruit or vegetable consumption and cigarette smoking as correlates of physical activity. Whereas investigators 23,24 in recent studies support a strong association between gender and physical activity among college students, there are many conflicting results and conclusions among behavioral correlates. Although some researchers 25,26 found that students who actively engaged in sporting activities consumed more alcohol than their counterparts, others 21,27,28 found the opposite or no significant relationship between alcohol consumption and participation in sporting activities.…”

“…Male students participated in vigorous activity at a higher rate than did female students, but not in moderate activity, which is in agreement with other studies on the correlates of physical activity among college students. 24,34 This may indicate the need for a gender-specific approach to physical activitypromotion interventions. Male students may be more responsive to vigorous physical activity programs than they are to moderate activity programs.…”

“…Resultando difícil encontrar evidencia que confirme esta noción en jóvenes y adultos (Sallis, 1999). Miller, Staten y Rayens (2005), destacaban una relación entre los niveles de actividad física y el IMC de los sujetos. Esta asociación se produce cuando los estudiantes que realizan actividades físicas de nivel vigoroso perciben tener sobrepeso y obesidad, en tanto los que buscan cambiar el peso eligen actividades tanto vigorosas como las moderadas.…”

Gabriel Flores AllendeFacultad de Cultura Física y Deportes, Universidad de Guadalajara, México Francisco Ruiz Juan María Elena García MontesFacultad de Ciencias del Deporte. Universidad de Murcia, EspañaLa práctica físico-deportiva de tiempo libre de los jóvenes universitarios, no se ajusta suficientemente a las recomendaciones de un estilo de vida activo que sea favorable para su salud. Los estudios coinciden en que algunos correlatos biológicos y demográficos, se asocian con la adherencia y continuidad de participación de los jóvenes, en el ejercicio físico y el deporte. Sugieren su identificación para desarrollar y facilitar eficaces intervenciones, con adecuados programas que fomenten la participación de los sujetos. Los estudiantes de Educación Superior de la Universidad de Guadalajara, México (n = 1.207), fueron seleccionados para llevar a cabo el estudio. Haciendo uso del cuestionario, se valoró qué sectores de la población realizan práctica, los que habiendo sido activos han dejado de serlo, y los que nunca han participado en su tiempo libre. Entre los principales resultados, destacar que poco más de la mitad de los jóvenes son practicantes, siendo más probables los hombres respecto a las mujeres, siendo éstas más factibles al abandono y a no haber participado nunca en la práctica. Descartando asociaciones entre la actividad físico-deportiva con la edad, el sobrepeso-obesidad (IMC) y lesiones o días de enfermedad, en esta población. Resultando provechoso para evitar el fracaso en el diseño de programas y promover, los beneficios saludables que permite la actividad física y el deporte.Palabras clave: factores biológicos y demográficos; práctica físico-deportiva; estudiantes universitarios.
