El objetivo de esta investigación, fue analizar la prevalencia de actividad física y conductas sedentarias en una muestra de niños y niñas de 8 a 10 años y de sus padres; así como, determinar el papel de los padres y madres como modelos saludables. Se seleccionó una muestra no probabilística de 1689 niños y 2259 padres. Los resultados indicaron que solo 18.9% de niños realizan actividad física. Al realizar comparaciones entre niños y niñas, las niñas reportaron practicar más actividad física que los niños, además, el 42.4% de los niños pasan más de dos horas frente a pantalla entre semana, y el 45% fueron las niñas. Se encontró que más de la mitad de los padres y madres realizan actividad física (56.9% y 58.2 %, respectivamente). Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en la percepción de los padres como modelos saludables entre los niños con y sin actividad física. A manera de conclusión, se puede decir que los niños que perciben que sus padres realizan con mayor frecuencia conductas saludables fueron aquellos que se pudieron clasificar como niños activos físicamente. Abstract. The objective of the research was to analyze the prevalence of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in a sample of boys and girls from 8 to 10 years old and their parents; as well as also determine the role of the parents as healthy role models. A non-probabilistic sample of 1689 kids and 2259 parents was selected. The results indicated that only 18.9% of children were doing physical activity. When making comparisons between boys and girls, girls reported practicing more physical activity than boys, furthermore, 42.4% of boys spend more than two hours in front of the screen during the week, and 45% for the girls. It was found that more than half of the fathers and mothers were doing physical activity (56.9% and 58.2% respectively). The results showed significant differences in the perception of the parents as healthy role models between the children with and without physical activity. In conclusion, it can be said that the children who perceive that their parents perform healthy behaviors more frequently were those who could be classified as physically active children.
The present study sought to know the prevalence of physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, and preferences in sports practice in children in Mexico, by sex and age. A non-probability sample of 2,621 children (47.1% boys and 52.5% girls) was selected, with an average age of 9.86 years. Seven indicators were used to assess physical activity and sedentary behaviors, in addition, five closed questions were used to know the type of physical-sport activities that they have and would like to practice, as well as the reasons why they like or don’t like to practice sports. The results showed that the highest percentage of children are classified as physically inactive, finding significant differences by sex, in the group of children from 11 to 13 years old. Regarding sedentary behavior indicators, it was found that a significant proportion of children spend more than. two hours a day in front of a screen. The highest percentage of boys and girls reported that they have practiced soccer, running, and cycling. Regarding the activities they would like to practice, those reported by children in a higher percentage were ping pong, climbing, boxing (for boys), and cheerleading (for girls).

La realización de actividad física desde la infancia y a lo largo de la vida adulta, permite que se mantenga un perfil de riesgo bajo respecto a numerosos padecimientos. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar las dificultades que generan la inactividad física en niños, para lo cual se contó con una muestra de 2,621 niños y niñas de 13 ciudades del país, 3,754 padres de estos niños, y 134 entrenadores de diferentes escuelas presentes en la República Mexicana. Para obtener la información de esta población, se utilizó un cuestionario de 17 preguntas abiertas y cerradas, el cual fue una adaptación del instrumento: State of Play: Youth Sports Survey (The Aspen Institute, 2018), mientras que a los padres y madres de familia se les preguntó cuáles consideraban que podrían ser las principales dificultades que enfrentaban para fomentar la actividad física y/o deportiva en sus hijos e hijas, finalmente a sus entrenadores se les preguntaron las razones principales por la que los niños no practican deportes o actividad física. Los resultados mostraron que, en la muestra general de niños, el aspecto principal que genera su inactividad física se relaciona con el cumplimiento de responsabilidades; los padres mencionaron como causa principal la falta de tiempo, y los entrenadores el mal uso de la tecnología.
Introduction: alcohol consumption in Mexican adolescents is a public health problem, so research efforts should focus on prevention. This study is based on Benson's model of assets (2007), which mention that young people have individual and contextual resources that promote positive development and limit their involvement in risk behavior. Objective: to analyze differences in internal and external assets in high school students with different levels of alcohol consumption. Method: participants were 990 students from public secondary schools in Mexico City, 52.1% female and 47.9% male, the mean age of participants was 13.6 years. Seven internal and seven external assets were evaluated. Results: 53.9% of the participants never consumed alcohol, 28.3% had consumed but never or only once they had abused and 17.8% reported abusing consumption in the last month. Men and women who have not consumed alcohol reported significantly higher scores on internal assets. In the case of external assets, young people who have not consumed alcohol also scored significantly higher in all assets, except for healthy friends in both men and women and support and supervision of the father in men. Discussion and conclusions: the results contribute to the explanation of alcohol consumption among young people and provide elements for the design of interventions to emphasize the assets that should be promoted to prevent young people from drinking alcohol at an early age.
