“…Melhores níveis de atividade física relacionam-se com famílias de maior nível educacional, que entendem os benefícios, são mais ativas e atuam como apoio social, encorajando essa prática nos seus filhos 8,9,23 . A mãe com sobrepeso e fisicamente inativa pode afetar negativamente a decisão do adolescente sobre a prática de atividade física 9,30,31 . Apesar de a família influenciar a adoção de comportamentos saudáveis, deve-se observar que muitos adolescentes tendem a ignorar essas atitudes como forma de afirmar sua autonomia, tornando-se fisicamente inativos, independente do hábito da família 24 .…”

Objective: To investigate determinants of physical inactivity among adolescents aged 15 to 19 years in the city of Recife, northeastern Brazil.Method: This case-control study involved 597 private school students aged 15 to 19 years selected by convenience sampling. Exclusion criteria were adolescents with diseases that interfered with or hindered anthropometric measurements, who were being treated with drugs or diet for excess weight or who had changed their physical activity over the past 30 days. The students were recruited according to physical activity, as determined by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire: cases -inactive (sedentary or insufficiently active); and controls -active (active and very active). The adolescents reported the number of hours per day of television watching and computer use to identify the number of sedentary hours/day. Anthropometry (weight and height) of the adolescents was measured by Gibson's technique and used to calculate the body mass index. Weight, height and educational level of mothers were self-reported. Data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression, using the SPSS software, version 11.5, in order to control for confounding variables.Results: Female adolescents were twice as likely to be inactive (odds ratio = 1.94; 95% confidence interval = 1.35-2.79) compared to male adolescents. Watching television for more than 1 hour/day showed increased risk for physical inactivity compared to less than 1 hour/day (odds ratio = 1.55; 95% confidence interval = 1.01-2.39). Conclusion:Physical inactivity among adolescents was associated with females and longer time spent per day watching television.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2010;86(6):520-524: Physical activity, risk factors, overweight, television, case-control studies, adolescents. ResumoObjetivo: Investigar fatores determinantes da inatividade física entre adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos na cidade do Recife (PE). Método:O estudo foi caso-controle, envolvendo 597 adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos, estudantes de escolas particulares, selecionadas por conveniência. Os critérios de exclusão foram adolescentes com doenças que interferissem ou impossibilitassem a avaliação antropométrica, que estavam em tratamento medicamentoso ou dietético para sobrepeso ou que haviam modificado sua atividade física nos últimos 30 dias. Eles foram recrutados de acordo com a atividade física, determinada pelo International Physical Activity Questionnaire: casos -inativos (sedentários e insuficientemente ativos); e controles -ativos (ativos e muito ativos). Os adolescentes informaram quantas horas diárias assistiam televisão e usavam computador para identificar o número de horas sedentárias/dia. A antropometria (peso e estatura) dos adolescentes foi aferida pela técnica de Gibson; assim, foi calculado o índice de massa corporal. O peso, a estatura e a escolaridade das mães foram autorreferidos. Os dados foram analisados por análise múltipla de regressão logística, utilizando o programa SPSS, versão 11.5, objetivando controlar variáveis de confusão...

“…Two of the interventions reported a positive effect on dietary intake (e.g. replacing high fat foods with low fat alternatives such as fruits and vegetables) and physical activity level (PAL) 41,42 while the other intervention reported favorable trends in the reduction of excessive weight gain and PAL 43 in the short term (4-12 months). In a prospective cohort study, Inskip et al 17 reported that out of 238 women who became pregnant during the first three months of the study period, those who intended a pregnancy were to some extent more inclined to follow recommendations as compared to those not planning a pregnancy.…”

Article type: Review ArticleBackground: Reproductive years represent a major proportion of women"s life. This review focuses on recommended nutritional considerations, physical activity pattern as well as the effect of nutrition education (NE) on behavior modification and health outcomes of women of reproductive age using either singlelevel, multiple-level or community-level interventions. Methods: For this narrative review, numerous searches were conducted on databases of PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar search engine using the keywords women, reproductive age, NE, interventions, community-based. Results: Even though single intervention is effective, multiple intervention programmes in addition to behavior modification components are even more successful in terms of modified behaviors and health outcomes. Moreover, community based interventions using multilevel strategies are further useful for improved health outcomes and behavior modification. Conclusion: NE programmes have been effective in positive behavior modification measured in terms of eating pattern and health quality. Thus, it is recommended that health professionals use multiple intervention strategies at community level to ensure improved outcomes. Political support is also required to create culturally sensitive methods of delivering nutritional programmes. Finally, as policy is dependent on program cost, nutritional programmes need to combine methods of cost analysis to show cost effectiveness of supplying adequate nutrition for women throughout the lifecycle.

El registro de datos se realizó en las semanas 20 y 34 de gestación. En la semana 20, se estudió a 45 gestantes del grupo de ejercicio (GE), de las cuales completaron el estudio 35. Del grupo de control (GC), en la semana 20 participaron 14, y completaron el estudio 9.Resultados: En la semana 20 hubo mejoras en el índice de masa corporal (GE: 25,1 AE 4,3/GC: 27,9 AE 4,5) (p = 0,04) y en la presión arterial sistólica (GE: 104,7 AE 10,9/GC: 112,5 AE 11,3) (p = 0,02). En el GC hubo presencia de hipertrofia concéntrica (n = 2, 14,3%). En la semana 34, el GE presentó un mayor volumen sistólico (GE: 52,33 AE 10,42/GC: 43,69 AE 9,48) (p = 0,03).Conclusión: El ejercicio aeróbico durante el embarazo es seguro para el sistema cardiovascular, mejorando incluso algunos parámetros.
