“…It is well known that diet, physical activity, and mental health are important in preventing future lifestyle-related diseases in university students [1,2]. For example, improper dietary habits are linked closely to visceral fat accumulation and insulin resistance [3].…”

“…The highest recorded rates of overweight and obesity were found in Irish girls aged 9-12 years (27%) and in Spanish boys (32%) [26]. Studies hitherto have demonstrated that the most effective means of dealing with obesity is through appropriate dieting coupled with increased calorific expenditure by being physically active [27][28][29]. Our study has shown that the highest weekly physical activity was performed by subjects participating in the "Keep Fit" programme, chiefly boys.…”

Introduction: The National "Keep Fit" Programme is aimed at educating school children and their families so as to achieve sustainable development of pro-healthy eating habits through promoting an active lifestyle and balanced diet. The purpose of this study was to establish the relationships between mealtime rates, self-assessment of weight and measurable body mass index (BMI), estimated slimming rates and undertaken physical activity for junior high school and high school pupils along with university students in Poland, taking into account gender, age, place of residence and whether they took part in the "Keep Fit" programme. Material and methods: Subjects were 13,537 youngsters aged 12-18 years randomly selected in 2011. Of those, girls and boys not participating in the programme (non-participants) numbered respectively 6,535 (89.42%) and 5,328 (85.54%), whilst girls and boys who participated numbered respectively 773 (10.58%) and 901 (14.46%). For the junior high school and high school pupils, the research tool was a questionnaire developed by the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate, based on one previously used in a GSHS study. Students were however surveyed by electronic means, using forms available on a specific website of the Institute of Agricultural Medicine. Data analysis was performed by the STATISTICA 10.0 programme. Significance was taken as p being not greater than 0.05. Results: Participating in the "Keep Fit" programme had a beneficial effect on the number of mealtimes as well as the desire to maintain current body weights. There was no association/agreement between selfassessment of weight and the measurable BMI. Mostly it was male students participating in the "Keep Fit" programme who demonstrated higher weekly levels of physical activity compared to those not participating. Conclusions: The results suggest that the national "Keep Fit" programme had beneficial effects on shaping attitudes and behaviour regarding proper nutrition and maintaining a physically active lifestyle. These subjects showed an increased health awareness reflecting the effectiveness of the programme and the need for its continuation in subsequent years of school education.

“…Os resultados do estudo mostraram que 75% (79,2% masculino; 72,5% feminino) dos escolares participavam frequentemente de aulas de Educação Física. Essa prevalência é inferior a encontrada entre escolares Poloneses (96,0%) [15], semelhante a do Sul do Brasil (78,4% masculino; 65,7% feminino) [16] e maior que nos Estados Unidos (28,4%) [17], Canadá (26,9%) [18]. Tais resultados configuram a necessidade de motivar os adolescentes a participarem de aulas de Educação Física, bem como, se realizar intervenções nas escolas com o intuito de adquirir benefícios à saúde.…”

Introdução: A participação nas aulas de educação física pode oferecer oportunidades aos adolescentes de experimentar e de apreciar um estilo de vida fisicamente ativo. Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre participação em aulas de educação física e atitudes positivas para a prática de atividade física em adolescentes. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal de base escolar com amostra representativa de estudantes do ensino médio da rede pública estadual de Sergipe (n= 3.992, 14 a 19 anos de idade). Os dados foram coletados mediante questionário auto administrado. Foram analisadas atitudes como: realizar atividade física no tempo livre e preferir atividades de lazer fisicamente ativas a atividades sedentárias. Recorreu-se à regressão logística binária para análise de associação entre as variáveis. Resultados: Os adolescentes que relataram participar das aulas de educação física apresentaram mais chances de preferir atividades de lazer fisicamente ativas (OR=1,69; 1,45-1,96) e realizar atividades físicas no tempo livre (OR=2,00; 1,72-2,31). Conclusão: Os resultados indicam que a participação nas aulas de educação física pode ser um fator importante para reduzir a inatividade física entre os adolescentes.
