“…The majority of adolescents were in the maintenance stage and the minority was in the pre-contemplation stage. These findings corroborate the results of research conducted with adolescents from Pernambuco 11 and Santa Catarina 4,10,[12][13][14] , but there were differences between studies in the prevalence verified at each stage. Partially divergent results were found in a survey with Belgian 15 and US adolescents 17 , since most of them were in the maintenance stage; however, the action stage was the least frequent.…”

“…Em outras palavras, os estágios descritos por Pelegrini et al 36 são atingidos à medida que o sujeito adere ao comportamento ativo, porém é um processo de adaptação interna, ou seja, um adolescente no estágio de pré-contemplação seria considerado sedentário, no estágio de contemplação seria irregularmente ativo B, no estágio de preparação seria irregularmente ativo A, no estágio de ação seria ativo e no estágio de manutenção seria considerado muito ativo, desse modo, é nos estágios de preparação e ação que os profissionais que atuam em programas de atividade física devem intensificar suas ações, pois o seu incentivo será fundamental para o avanço ou retrocesso nos estágios comportamentais do adolescente que participa da intervenção.…”
