Motivos para a participação nas aulas de educação física segundo adolescentes do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Os objetivos consistem em descrever os motivos para a participação nas aulas de educação física escolar de adolescentes entre o sexto e nono ano do ensino fundamental e comparar a ocorrência de motivos entre sexos. Essa é uma pesquisa descritiva, realizada com 71 adolescentes com idade média de 13 anos, 27 meninas e 44 meninos em uma escola do Sul do Brasil. Para avaliar os motivos foi realizado um diagnóstico com duas questões abertas. As respostas foram sumarizadas em categorias de acordo com a análise de conteúdo. Após, foram transformadas em 3 variáveis quantitativas dummy. Realizou-se uma análise descritiva de ocorrências e calculou-se a razão de prevalência entre sexos. Os resultados sugerem que os motivos individuais foram diversificados, os adolescentes acreditam que a educação física é “legal”, importante para o corpo, para a estética, para a saúde, bem-estar, para brincar, por ter jogos, por ter esportes, pela dança, exercícios físicos, por gostarem de atividades ao ar livre. A comparação entre sexos aponta que há ocorrência de apenas 18% de meninas versus 47% de meninos (RP: 0,245; p=0,016) que aderem em virtude do exercício físico e do esporte, e 44% das meninas versus 20% de meninos reportaram a aptidão física e a saúde (RP: 3,111; p=0,035). Conclui-se que adolescentes tem diversos motivos para participação na educação física. Esporte e o exercício físico são motivos descritos pelos meninos. As meninas indicaram maior ocorrência de motivos na categoria aptidão física e saúde.Palavras-chave: Adesão, Educação física, motivação, atividade física

Associations of sleep time, quality of life, and obesity indicators on physical literacy components: a structural equation model

“…A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was conducted according to previous published work [17,[23][24][25].…”

“…Four schools were selected using convenience criteria, which included factors such as the highest number of enrollments in the state elementary school system in the city, with approximately 1166 students, accounting for 74% of the total population of the seven schools. The selection also considered variations in educational development indexes (IDEB) among the schools and their distinct geographical distribution across the four regions of the city: north-center, southcenter, east, and west [17,[23][24][25].…”

“…The sample size (N) estimated to represent the population of students consisted of a minimum of 470 subjects (accounting for a 20% allowance for potential losses). This sample size was obtained using G*Power version 3.1 software, considering a multivariate test of associations involving 15 to 20 predictor variables, test power of 0.80, alpha of 0.05, and an effect size of 0.10 (r) [16,17,26,27]. The mathematical assumption of at least 20 subjects for each endogenous or exogenous variable included in the structural equation model (SEM) was also considered [28].…”

“…Participants were selected from the sixth to ninth grades of elementary school in 2017, encompassing adolescents aged 11 to 17 years (Mean: 13.22 ± 1.50). The distribution of participants across schools was determined based on the number of enrollments in each respective class, and the selection of subjects was made through a randomization process [17,24,27,29]. According to the enrollment proportions at each institution, a total of 470 participants were included in the present sample.…”
