“…Contudo, estudos têm demonstrado o oposto: uma significativa redução da prática de atividade física com o aumento da idade, fato esse preocupante, pois, estudiosos afirmam que a adolescência é uma fase da vida importante para o indivíduo adquirir hábitos ativos e esses, permanecerem até a idade adulta (17,(21)(22) .…”

O objetivo da pesquisa foi conhecer os hábitos cotidianos, relacionados à prática de atividade física, em 307 estudantes entre 12 e 17 anos, de seis escolas privadas, de Fortaleza - Brasil, entre os meses de março e junho de 2007. Foi aplicado um formulário para registrar sedentarismo, IMC, pressão arterial e glicemia. Para análise das proporções foi utilizado o teste do Qui-quadrado. Cerca de 68% dos jovens eram inativos. O sedentarismo foi maior nos pesquisados do sexo feminino (p=0, 000) e naqueles com excesso de peso (p=0,001). Entre os adolescentes ativos o exercício físico mais praticado era o futebol (42%) e a musculação (19%). A educação em saúde nas escolas pode auxiliar no combate desse sedentarismo juvenil.

“…At baseline and the 1983 follow-up, an index of physical activity was calculated using inputs of duration, intensity, and frequency of self-reported physical activity from 9 to 18 years of age, as previously detailed in full. 8 At the 2001 and 2007 follow-ups, participants reported their total years of schooling and their current smoking status.…”

Exposure to Parental Smoking in Childhood Is Associated With Increased Risk of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque in Adulthood

et al. 2015

Background-The association between passive smoking exposure in childhood and adverse cardiovascular health in adulthood is not well understood. Using a 26-year follow-up study, we examined whether childhood exposure to passive smoking was associated with carotid atherosclerotic plaque in young adults. Methods and Results-Participants were from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (n=2448). Information on childhood exposure to parental smoking was collected in 1980 and 1983. Carotid ultrasound data were collected in adulthood in 2001 or 2007. Childhood serum cotinine levels from 1980 were measured from frozen samples in 2014 (n=1578). The proportion of children with nondetectable cotinine levels was highest among households in which neither parent smoked (84%), was decreased in households in which 1 parent smoked (62%), and was lowest among households in which both parents smoked (43%). Regardless of adjustment for potential confounding and mediating variables, the relative risk of developing carotid plaque in adulthood increased among those children with 1 or both parents who smoked (relative risk, 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-2.8; P=0.04). Although children whose parents exercised good "smoking hygiene" (smoking parents whose children had nondetectable cotinine levels) had increased risk of carotid plaque compared with children with nonsmoking parents (relative risk, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 0.6-4.0; P=0.34), children of smoking parents with poor smoking hygiene (smoking parents whose children had detectable serum cotinine levels) had substantially increased risk of plaque as adults (relative risk, 4.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-9.8; P=0.002). Conclusions-Children

“…As both physical activity and obesity commonly track from childhood into adulthood (Telama et al, 2005), establishing strong habits for engaging regularly in physical activity during childhood and adolescence is vital to the prevention of obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The World Health Organisation (WHO, 2010) recommends a daily minimum of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for children and adolescents for health benefit.…”

Schools are a critical setting for children to accrue recommended levels of physical activity, and after-school programmes are suggested to supplement existing programmes such as physical education. This review of reviews provides a comprehensive picture of the effects of after-school physical activity programmes on student physical activity and health. We completed a literature search of electronic databases and identified six existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the effects of after-school programmes on child and adolescent physical activity and health. We compared these reviews on numerous factors, including the databases searched, aims, outcome variables, physical activity measures, inclusion criteria, and quality of original studies. Our review of reviews identified considerable differences among the published reviews in the number and type of studies included, and in the conclusions drawn. In general, the reviews identified better outcomes when conducting the programmes in school rather than community settings, providing sessions on two or more days a week, and ensuring high programme attendance rates. Subgroup analyses indicated that girls were more receptive than boys to intervention programmes that promoted weight control. Additionally, there were some benefits for increasing physical activity levels among overweight youth and boys. This review of reviews suggests there is currently only modest support of the benefits of after-school programmes on child and adolescent physical activity levels and body composition. Many questions remain unanswered, and there is further need to design, implement, and assess quality after-school interventions that target physical activity in diverse settings.
