“…However, Guilherme et al [39] failed to show the same trends. This discrepancies in the observed results might be influenced mainly by the methodological approach (type of PAL assessment tool, mean age of the responders, ethnicity of the included subjects, their habits, etc.)…”

Purpose. The aim of the review was to investigate the relationship between physical activity level (PAL) and nutritional status (NS) in adolescents. Methods. Seven electronic databases were searched for research from the years 2005-2015. The studies must have mentioned the relationship between PAL and NS parameters in adolescents. After the review of abstracts and articles, 22 papers meeting the required criteria were further analysed in detail.Results. The studies included 31,045 subjects of both sexes. The results showed that smaller PAL led to an increase of NS parameters and vice versa. Comparing the total PAL, the total time spent in moderately vigorous physical activity, and the total time of vigorous PA (VPA), only VPA was a significant predictor of the responders' percentage of fat mass. Reducing the activity by 10 MET on the weekly level was associated with an increase in bMI in girls for 0.11 kg/m 2 , while an increase of the activity by 1 hour per week resulted in a decline in bMI by 0.13 kg/m 2 . Conclusions. Total PAL has a significant correlation with NS in adolescents. This relationship is inverse, which means that more active adolescents are less overweight than their less active and/or inactive counterparts and vice versa. In addition to PAL, the character or intensity of physical activity has a significant impact on bMI. Physical activity of higher intensity influenced the reduction of body weight and fat mass more than activity of the same duration but of moderate intensity.

“…Moreover, the presence of TV in the room is bound with elevated cardiometabolic risk (ECMR) (OR = 2.9) and high values of triglycerides (OR = 2.0) [40]. The risk of obesity was specifically tested in four studies, which indicated that less physically active children were more likely to become obese in adolescence [29,39,46,47].…”

“…These results were different from other studies. In the work of William and collaborators 24 , for example, students classified with excess weight had 1.8 times more chance of being insufficiently active. Dias and collaborators 12 also observed an association between excess weight in adolescence and insufficiently active behavior.…”

Abstract:Introduction: Brazil is going through a nutritional transition, which is observed decrease in malnutrition and increased excess weight. Objetive: To evaluate the nutritional status and lifestyle of school children and adolescents from 4 to 17 years old resident in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. Methods: This is a longitudinal study performed in two stages. The first stage took place during the School Health Program and anthropometric data were collected from 975 schoolchildren. In the second stage, it was used a questionnaire to assess lifestyle and diet. Participants were classified into "not overweight" and "overweight". The significant level for the statistical tests was set at 5%.Results: In the first stage, less than 2% of students had low height for age. The prevalence of overweight and malnutrition was 22.15% and 5.23%, respectively. Of the 134 participants of the second stage, 47.76% were not overweight and 52.24% overweight. Regarding the lifestyle, the not overweight group had a higher percentage of insufficiently active members (p = 0.017) and a lower intake of vegetables and salads (p=0.015). Conclusion:The results revealed low short stature in the population studied and overweight was more prevalent than malnutrition. Children and adolescents had sedentary habits that associated with inappropriate dietary practices favor the occurrence of overweight.

“…A atenção dos pesquisadores para a relação entre excesso de peso e atividade física se deve ao aumento nas prevalências de excesso de peso e de inatividade física constatado nas últimas décadas entre adolescentes de diferentes países, com consequências negativas para a saúde (Ng et al, 2014;Kohl et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2012;Dumith et al, 2011 proporcional, isto é, atividade física de intensidade vigorosa associa-se com redução de gordura corporal e excesso de peso (Guilherme et al, 2015;Singh et al, 2015Al-Hazzaa et al, 2012Byrd-Williams et al, 2010;Martinez-Gomes et al, 2010;Moliner-Urdiales et al, 2009;Ortega, Ruiz, Sjöström, 2007;Ekelund et al, 2005;Gutin et al, 2005). Também evidências procedentes de estudos epidemiológicos mostram associação consistente entre atividade física de alta intensidade e redução de gordura corporal total (Ortega, Ruiz e Castillo, 2013 Assim, ainda que bem documentado na literatura que a prática de atividade física constitui um dos principais fatores modificáveis para prevenir o excesso de peso (Malik, Willett, Hu, 2013;Chan, Woo, 2010), essa associação ainda é controversa, tendo em vista os resultados divergentes encontrados tanto em estudos transversais, quanto longitudinais e com dados de atividade física obtidos por métodos objetivos ou subjetivos (Hallal et al, 2012a).…”

“…Na literatura, há resultados divergentes, independentemente do delineamento realizado. Contrariamente aos resultados aqui encontrados, pesquisas com delineamentos transversais evidenciaram associação inversamente proporcional entre excesso de peso e atividade física em adolescentes (Romero, Borges, Slater, 2015;Guilherme et al, 2015;Al-Hazzaa et al, 2012;MartinezGomes et al, 2010;Ortega, Ruiz, Sjöström, 2007;Janssen et al, 2004). No mesmo sentido, revisão de literatura, que analisou estudos de 34 países, mostrou que, na maioria das nações, a associação entre excesso de peso e atividade física é inversamente proporcional, ou seja, conforme aumenta atividade física, diminui excesso de peso (Janssen et al, 2005).…”
