“…Los resultados del presente estudio compararon las varianzas en variables de intensidad de la actividad física medida con acelerómetros y monitores de frecuencia cardiaca tomando en cuenta el género y el porcentaje de grasa corporal, los valores encontrados reportaron con una p menor a α≤ 0.005 con diferencias significativa solo en la clase de educación física entre las medias de la actividad física moderada a vigorosa (hombres: 0,003; mujeres: 0,001) y la frecuencia cardiaca (hombres: 0,001, mujeres: 0,000) en los sujetos con porcentaje de grasa corporal normal en comparación a los sujetos con porcentaje de grasa corporal alta los presentes datos corroboran lo reportado en investigaciones realizadas con diseño metodológico similar donde asocian de manera inversamente proporcional la actividad física moderada vigorosa realizada por niños y niñas con su porcentaje de grasa corporal 22,23 .…”

Nuestro objetivo fue comparar la intensidad de actividad física mediante acelerómetros y monitores de frecuencia cardiaca durante la clase de educación física y el recreo en estudiantes de tercero y cuarto grado de primaria de acuerdo al género y porcentaje de grasa corporal. La intensidad de la actividad física se evaluó con acelerómetros ActiGraph-GT9X y monitores de frecuencia cardiaca Polar-bluetooth en 28 niños y 26 niñas durante 8 clases de educación física y recreo, se clasificó el porcentaje de grasa como normal o alto mediante análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica utilizando el equipo Inbody-720. La igualdad de la varianza calculada con t-Student reportó una P-Valor menor a α≤0.005 con diferencias significativas en clases de educación física entre los promedios de la actividad física moderada a vigorosa (hombres: 0,003; mujeres: 0,001) y la frecuencia cardiaca lat/min (hombres: 0,001, mujeres: 0,000) en participantes con porcentaje de grasa normal en comparación con alta. La intensidad durante el recreo fue mayor que en educación física y con actividad física moderada a vigorosa inferior al 50%, por lo anterior es importante retroalimentar constructivamente la manera de impartir la educación física mediante capacitación con estrategias didácticas para involucrar en mayor actividad física a escolares con obesida.

“…Studies have shown that boys perceive a higher prevalence of the presence of some attribute for PA than girls 6,15,17,30 . Findings also indicate that boys accumulate more time in leisure PA than girls 15,33 . In general, perceiving the presence of spaces near one's home can facilitate engagement in PA 4,9 .…”

The aim of this study was to identify evidence about the prevalence of the community and environment indicators related to physical activity (PA) among young Brazilian people. A systematic review was carried out using eight databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, SPORTDiscus, BIREME, Scielo, and Google Scholar) with descriptors in Portuguese and English. Community and environment Indicators included access, presence, proximity, quality, safety and pollution of/in spaces, facilities, programs available for PA among young people (up to 18 years-old), which may be measured subjectively and/or objectively. A total of 23 documents were included, representing 15 different studies. There were more studies in the South region (n=8), followed by the Northeast (n=3) and Southeast (n=3). Self-reported instruments were more frequently used (n=15). The studies reported prevalence of perception (positive and/or barrier) for access to facilities, programs and/or parks (n=13); presence of sidewalks and bicycle lanes (n=4); proximity to residence (n=5); quality (n=5); safety from crime and traffic (n=14) and pollution (n=6); number of spaces and/or facilities around the residence (n=1); and observation of adolescents using public spaces for PA (n=3). The prevalence rates showed high variability according to environmental indicator. No studies are available for the North and Midwest of the country. Distinct environmental measures were used in selfreported studies, impairing data comparability. To date, no studies have been identified that provide information about the prevalence of combined environmental measures (perceived and objective).

“…It is not clear why adiposity development might be more sensitive to variation in physical activity in boys than in girls, but it is possible that influences on the energy-intake side of the energy-balance equation may be more important in girls than boys. In particular, low physical activity is considered in children as significant correlates of excess body fat 17 .…”

The purpose of this study was to examine potential correlates of body fat (BF) and waist circumference (WC) in children. The sample included 328 children (169 boys) aged 9-11 years. BF (%) was measured using a bioelectrical impedance scale. WC measurements were made on exposed skin at the end of a normal expiration using a non-elastic anthropometric tape. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior were measured using accelerometers. Participants with complete individual, family and home, and school environmental data were included in the analysis. Children averaged 21.3% in boys and 25.8% in girls for BF and 68.0 cm in boys and 67.2 cm in girls for WC. There was higher BF among girls (p<0.001), but no significant sex differences with respect to WC. In boys, breakfast consumption, bad sleep quality, and MVPA were associated with BF. Among girls, the only variables associated with BF were breakfast consumption and bad sleep quantity. Bad sleep quality and MVPA were associated with WC in boys. Among girls, WC was associated with breakfast consumption and bad sleep quantity. We identified correlates of BF and WC in children; however, few correlates were common for both BF and WC, and for both boys and girls.

Abstract: Several factors were identified as correlates of MVPA in Brazilian children; however, only travel mode to school was common for both boys and girls.
