“…Finally, the predictive factor analysis established that being female, being older and living in conditions of social vulnerability significantly increase the risk of presenting physical activity habits below international recommendations. These findings coincide with the findings of Jiménez Boraita et al (2021) who established, in Spanish adolescents, that older individuals, women and having a low/medium socioeconomic level, together with other factors, were predictors of a low level of physical activity. Ricardo et al (2022) analyzed physical activity habits data from 64 countries in the southern hemisphere.…”

“…Additionally, in countries where there are marked socioeconomic disparities amongst the adolescent population, a low socioeconomic level is associated with lower levels of physical activity (Rittenhouse et al, 2011) and the risk of unhealthy physical activity behaviors even interacting with other health risk factors such as overweight and obesity (Jiménez Boraita et al, 2021). Ricardo et al (2022) who analyzed the physical activity habits of adolescents from Global South Countries, including Chile, reported that even in countries with higher human development indices and higher gender inequality indices, there were significant differences in the levels of physical activity, being consistently lower among women.…”

“…Considering the said evidence, the aim of this article is to analyze physical activity habits and their relationship with sociodemographic factors in Chilean adolescents. These could also be useful for the following purposes: First, to expand knowledge regarding the frequency and duration of physical activity habits, it can also be used in establishing more precise guidelines for the design of programs and/or public policies to promote the regular practice of physical activity in adolescents, especially amongst the most vulnerable groups (Jiménez Boraita et al, 2021); it could as well be of particular relevance, to analyze physical activity habits considering sociodemographic factors in Chile, a developing country with significant levels of inequality (Mieres Brevis, 2020). We hypothesize that gender, age and socioeconomic level are determining factors in the practice of physical activity and that they constitute, together, predictors of physical activity habits in Chilean adolescents.…”

Physical activity habits and their relationship with sociodemographic factors in Chilean adolescents

Physical activity plays an important role in the well-being and development of adolescents. Physical activity habits expressed in terms of frequency and duration are consistently associated with sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status. However, there is less evidence of the relationship between the type and context of physical activity in adolescents. The aim of this article is to analyze physical activity habits and their relationship with sociodemographic factors in Chilean adolescents. The cross-sectional study consisted of 7,263 adolescents aged between 10 and 20 years old, students from both public and private schools in all regions of Chile. Physical activity habits were examined by means of a self-report questionnaire. The age groups were classified according to the three stages of adolescence (early: 10 to 13, middle: 14 to 16, and late: 17 to 20 years old). Socioeconomic level was established based on the school vulnerability index (SVI) of the school attended by each adolescent. In the study it was obvious to the level of physical activity for the adolescents was below the international recommendations. A statistically significant association can also be found between the sociodemographic factors studied and the physical activity habits reported by the young people. The multivariate regression analysis established that the risk of not achieving the physical activity recommendations was 2.8 times higher in females than in males, 2.4 times higher in the older age groups (14–16 and 17–20 years old) compared to the 10–13-year age range and 1.1 times in the medium and high vulnerability groups than in the low socioeconomic vulnerability group. These findings highlight the importance of considering all these factors holistically whenever designing programs or public policies that promote the development of healthy physical activity habits in adolescents.

“…Six studies that analyzed the association between PA and BID found no significant association or correlation between these two variables [ 28 , 35 , 43 , 44 , 54 , 55 ], and nine studies reported a negative association between PA and BID or body perception [ 39 , 41 , 42 , 45 , 53 , 57 , 58 , 62 , 68 ], whereas one study reported an increase in body dissatisfaction with an increase in PA level [ 47 ].…”

Adolescence represents a vulnerable phase of life for psychological health. The practice of physical activity (PA) appears to have a positive influence on adolescents, increasing self-esteem and producing a more positive body image. A systematic review of published articles over the past 10 years until June 2022 was conducted according to the PRISMA statement employing the electronic databases MEDLINE and Web of Science (639 records) to summarize the literature on the relationship between body image dissatisfaction (BID) and assessed by figural scales and practice of structured and unstructured PA in adolescents (10–18 years), taking into account BMI and/or weight status. All articles were independently reviewed using inclusion/exclusion criteria, retrieved data, and assessed quality with the adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies. The main finding of interest that emerged from most of the 28 included studies is the negative association between BID and PA during adolescence: as PA increases, BID decreases. However, this updated systematic review also identified some flaws in the existing literature, highlighting the need for high-quality adolescent research using validated figural scales and objective PA assessments. In conclusion, the reviewed studies showed that PA involvement can be efficacious in protecting from body image perception concerns and enhancing body satisfaction. Future interventions should promote structured and unstructured PA during adolescence to improve self-esteem and body image.

“…Em conclusão, a prática de atividades físicas e sedentárias foi associada à QVRS, principalmente nos domínios físico e psicossocial, com o ato positivo da ação física e negativo das ações sedentárias5. Jiménez Boraita et al 17 , em seus estudos, revelam que o nível de ATF dos adolescentes estava relacionado diretamente com as variáveis sociodemográfi cas, hábitos de vida e indicadores de saúde. Nesse sentido, enaltecem a representatividade de sua amostra, podendo concluir que o sexo feminino refl etiu uma menor prática de atividades físicas e teve o dobro de probabilidade de ter um baixo nível de ATF.…”

Mensurar a qualidade de vida(QV) de crianças e adolescentes é de suma importância para o desenvolvimento de ações que busquem contemplar o bem-estar físico, mental e social dos indivíduos. Neste artigo, será investigada, portanto, a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde(QVRS) e à prática de esportes ou atividades físicas por meio de uma revisão sistemática de três bases de dados: Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed e Embase. A metodologia de revisão foi registrada sob protocolo PROSPERO: CRD42021252855. Foram incluídos estudos que tivessem avaliado a QVRS de crianças e adolescentes entre 8 e 18 anos, com ou sem doenças crônicas, praticantes de qualquer modalidade de esportes ou praticantes de atividades físicas. Os resultados indicam que os estudos sistematizados foram realizados nos países de Irã, Estados Unidos, Chile, Austrália, Reino Unido, Brasil, Holanda, Noruega, Espanha e Dinamarca. Dessa maneira, a amostra total disponível foi de 14.511 crianças e adolescentes. Em todos os artigos, foi possível notar que a prática de atividade física ou de esportes está relacionada a uma melhora nos indicadores da QV. Mesmo quando aplicada de maneira adaptada, a atividade física por si só tende a auxiliar no desenvolvimento saudável desses sujeitos, principalmente em questões ligadas ao sedentarismo, obesidade e estilo de vida.
