“…However, insufficient levels of physical activity have been reported in several other studies. In 2016, 379 university students in Cali, Colombia, were analyzed 25 , showing groups of male and female students with unhealthy physical activity practices, regardless of whether they were working. Calestine et al (2017) 26 observed sedentary behavior and obesity in 512 students in the United States and related it to the excessive use of social media.…”

Introduction: Moderate and vigorous physical activity is essential to maintain proper body composition, to reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. In addition, it reduces the risk of stroke, hypertension, and depression. Even so, it is an essential determinant of energy expenditure and, therefore, fundamental for energy balance and weight control. Objective: The objective of this epidemiological study is twofold: to quantify and qualify the physical activity of students at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) and to compare the level of physical activity of incoming and graduating students. Methodology: The present study used the National College Health Behavior Survey (NCHRBS) questionnaire adapted and validated for use by Brazilian undergraduate students and addressed only aspects related to physical activity. Of the 18,986 students enrolled on UFMT's 5 campuses, 9,720 students accessed the questionnaire. Of these, 7,379 had their answers validated, corresponding to 75.92% of accesses or 38.87% of the universe studied. Results: This study found differences in the level of physical activity among university students, observing less physical activity on the Rondonópolis campus, less physical activity for students in the areas of Linguistics and Letters, when compared with students from other areas, less physical activity in students females when compared to males and less physical activity among freshmen compared to graduates. Conclusion: The study suggest the need for greater investment in policies to promote physical activity among university students in all areas.

“…Dado que los estudiantes pasan gran parte de su tiempo en la universidad, ésta se convierte en un espacio privilegiado en el que se pueden promover hábitos, entornos físicos y sociales que promuevan la salud y la calidad de vida de sus estudiantes (29) . Los resultados de este estudio pueden animar y orientar una reflexión sobre la mejora en los estilos de vida de los estudiantes y su desarrollo integral y, de esta forma, contribuir al mejoramiento de la escuela en términos de impacto positivo, mediados por los procesos curriculares, de planeación, de gestión educativa, y demás componentes del proceso formativo.…”

La sociedad occidental se caracteriza actualmente por comportamientos sedentarios en el trabajo, actividades domésticas, recreativas y de ocio, así también por la ingesta calórica desequilibrada y consumo indiscriminado de sal, azúcar y grasas saturadas. Chile no está ajeno a esta realidad: casi dos tercios de la población tiene sobrepeso, además de no practicar deportes ni actividad física. Objetivo: Describir los comportamientos alimentarios y la actividad física de estudiantes matriculados en programas de pregrado en ciencias de la salud y ciencias humanas en una universidad chilena, ubicada en la zona centro-sur del país. Material y método: Se realizó un estudio transversal, cuantitativo, con una muestra de 331 estudiantes, hombres y mujeres (20-24 años) que cursaban el tercer año de carreras de pregrado de una universidad del centro sur de Chile. Esta investigación utilizó la escala validada de origen colombiano "CEVJU-R2". Resultados: La mayoría de los y las estudiantes reconocieron tener comportamientos alimentarios poco saludables y más de la mitad desarrollan bajos niveles de actividad física, independiente de si cursaba una carrera de pregrado relacionada o no con la salud. Sin embargo, los y las estudiantes de profesiones de la salud obtienen levemente mejores puntajes en relación con sus pares de ciencias humanas. Conclusión: Los estudiantes universitarios, así como la población chilena, mantienen prácticas de actividad física y patrones de alimentación poco saludables.

“…Regarding gender differences, several studies have supported that woman present lower levels of PA compared to men, both in college age and in adulthood (Blanco et al, 2017;Carriedo et al, 2019;Gómez et al, 2006;Wilson &Rodgers, 2002) (Castañeda-Vázquez, Campos-Mesa andDel Castillo-Andrés, 2016). In addition, recent studies identify the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles in university students, especially in women (García Puello & Herazo Beltrán, 2015;Arévalo, Muñoz & Cuevas, 2016, Puerta Mateus et al, 2019 In the study conducted by Arévalo, Muñoz & Cuevas (2016), after corroborating the greater sedentary lifestyle in women than in men, an attempt was made to provide an explanation for these differences. In addition to the arguments about inequalities in gender roles widely discussed by other studies, these differences could also be explained by less availability for physical activity reported by women, due to the multiplicity of activities they have to perform since their youth, as well as the important differences in the motivations they show for physical activity.…”

Traditionally women have been less active and physically active than men. Although the recent literature indicates this gender gap, the sexes' difference when practicing sport seems to be decreasing. This study framework's importance could be reflected in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) proposed by UNESCO, which highlight the need to generate strategies to improve health (SDG 3) and equalize opportunities between men and women (SDG 4). The reasons for these differences are multifactorial, with intrinsic and extrinsic motivations indicated as requiring further research. Self-perception in physical performance has been documented to influence women to perform the exercise and physical activity. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and healthy women's self-perception and motivations to perform in a VO2max test. A total of 31 women (21.12 ± 2.01) completed the research. The study was divided into two principal tests. On the one hand, the measurement of a sub-maximal incremental stress test following established ASCM indications. Heart rate and ventilatory parameters were measured during the stress test using a metabolic measurement system and a gas analyser. After the test, the study sample completed the self-completed Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire and the International Short Form Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), and the Self Report of Reasons for Physical Activity (AMPEF). Correlation between VO2Max and average weight and body image (r = .001) was detected, showing the positive relationship between both values. The results obtained help confirm the importance of a positive self-perception in women regarding their weight and body image for better physical performance. Although these findings cannot be generalized, they establish a potential relationship between better physical performance and self-perception in most adults.
