Análise da prática de atividades físico-esportivas em alunos de ESO e ESPO das províncias de Almería, Granada e Murcia por um índice composto de participação

Abstract

Os objetivos do estudo foram comparar um índice válido de atividade física segundo o sexo e a idade, comprovar se o nível intenso de participação responde às recomendações referentes a saúde nos jovens e identifi car grupos de jovens em risco de sedentarismo. Materiais e Métodos: A coleta dos dados se efetuou por meio de um questionário denominado "Hábitos físico-esportivos e estilos de vida", nas províncias de Almería, Granada e Murcia. As amostras representativas foram formadas por 3.249 alunos de ESO e 2.921 de ESPO. Resultados: As diferenças de participação intensa são signifi cativamente a favor dos homens. O índice de atividade física diminuiu particularmente nas mulheres. Discussão: As mulheres adolescentes aparecem como um grupo muito sedentário e em forte risco de sedentarismo no futuro.

Role of Individual and School Factors in Physical Activity Patterns of Secondary-Level Spanish Students

“…To better represent the activity patterns of the participants, the latter were subsequently classified into 1 of the following categories based on their PAI scores: vigorously active, moderately active, lightly active, insufficiently active, and sedentary. These categories are consistent with previous research that has used this measure with adolescents 31,32 …”

“…This resulted in a minimum PAI value of 5 and a maximum of 15. Reliability estimates for the physical activity questions (Cronbach's alpha = 0.85) were similar to those reported in previous research using a similar index 30,31 and indicated strong associations among the variables. Furthermore, all items loaded on 1 single factor in a principal component analysis and were therefore retained in the index.…”

El balance decisional, etapas de cambio y nivel de actividad física en estudiantes de bachillerato

“…Los resultados más bajos son característicos de las personas menos activas, mientras que las puntuaciones más altas son indicativas de los individuos más activos. De acuerdo con investigaciones previas realizadas con adolescentes que utilizan esta misma medida (Piéron et al, 2008;Ruiz-Juan et al, 2010) y para representar mejor los patrones de actividad física, la puntuación se utilizó para clasificar a los participantes en actividad vigorosa, moderada, ligera e insuficiente.…”

Leisure-Time Physical Activity in Relation to the Stages of Changes and Achievement Goals in Adolescents: Comparative Study of Students in Spain, Costa Rica, and Mexico

“…This was measured following the same procedure as Piéron et al and Ruiz-Juan et al [18,19]. One question was used in order to determine whether respondents did or did not do leisure-time sport and physical activities defined in the following way: "We understand sports and physical activities are those which are carried out with an intention of partaking in physical exercise and which are practiced with some regularity.…”

“…The lowest results are typical of the less active people, while the highest scores correspond to the most active subjects. This measure was used in 2008 and 2010 with adolescents [18,19] in previous research and in order to better represent physical activity patterns, the scoring was used to classify participants into vigorous, moderate, mild, and insufficient activity categories. For analytical purposes we created a dichotomous variable by means of grouping participants classified as vigorously active and moderately active (high level of sports-physical activity) at one end and those mildly and insufficiently active (low level of sports-physical activity) at the other end.…”
