“…In the adjusted analysis study Bergmann et al (2013), noted that older adolescents tend to be inactive; these results corroborate with the study of Ruiz et al, (2011) the average level of physical activity was lower among older European adolescents (2.4% per age group increase). Specifically in Spain, it was identified that adolescents aging between 17-18 years are more inactive than adolescents with 11-12 years old (Ramos et al, 2012).…”

Isto pode ajudar a explicar os resultados encontrados para as associações entre sexo, idade e a baixa ApC e a baixa F/R.…”

“…A EF escolar parece ser um importante espaço para o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos práticos e teóricos que podem contribuir para um estilo de vida mais ativo e, consequentemente, para melhores níveis de ApFRS. Adolescentes que participam e gostam das aulas de EF escolar tendem a ser mais ativos 22 e a apresentar melhores níveis de ApC 11 . Estes achados são reforçados considerando que o período de férias escolar parece ser negativo para os níveis de ApFRS de adolescentes, principalmente em relação à ApC 26 .…”
