“…These findings contrast with a study conducted in Spain which only found differences in PA when the ages were more distant, i.e. 6 vs. 11 years old in girls and children (boys and girls) (Escalante et al, 2011). It should be noted, however, that the present study carried out in rural Welsh schools found levels of playground PA well above those of the Spanish schoolchildren.…”

“…Measurements made with it have been demonstrated to be strongly correlated with those of a triaxial accelerometer (Eisenmann et al, 2004). The method is similar to that followed in other studies (Escalante et al, 2011; Escalante et al, 2012; Kimm et al, 2000; Sigmund et al, 2009; Saglam et al, 2010). …”

“…Regarding the latter, the playground can constitute a good opportunity to increase PA levels. There have been studies indicating that, in general, boys do more PA than girls (Dessing et al, 2013), and that younger ages are more active than older (Escalante et al, 2011). The size of the playground also influences the amount of PA done (Escalante et al, 2012).…”

“…However, most studies have been on urban (Stratton, 2000; Verstraete et al, 2006; Cardon et al, 2009; Huberty et al, 2011; Blaes et al, 2013.) or urban and rural populations (Ridgers et al, 2007a, b; Cardon et al, 2009; Ridgers et al, 2010; Huberty et al, 2011; Blaes et al, 2013; Escalante et al, 2011, 2012). Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the PA during break of Primary School children in rural areas and its relationship with age and sex.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the physical activity during the break-times of primary school children in rural areas, and its relationship with age and sex. 380 children (192 boys and 188 girls; age=9.5±1.1 years) participated in the study. Break-time physical activity in the morning and lunch breaks was measured by accelerometry. An ANOVA was used to determine differences by sex in each age group, together with the respective confidence intervals and effect sizes. The results showed that 8-year-olds performed more physical exercise than 11-year-olds during the two breaks (p=0.005). For the boys, the 8-year-olds did more physical activity than the 10-year-olds, while, for the girls, those aged 8 and 9 years did more PA than girls aged 11 years (p<0.001). The only difference between boys and girls was for the 10-year-olds (p=0.043), with the boys doing more physical activity. Teachers might find it useful to take these findings into account to design physical activity programmes aimed at increasing the playground physical activity of older children.

“…De la misma manera, Escalante determinó que su población masculina se mostró más competitiva, a diferencia de la femenina que prefirió actividades de carácter cooperativo y ven la hora del recreo como una oportunidad para socializar con los amigos (7,13). Por tanto, se infiere que el género femenino en estas edades podría estar realizando menor actividad física, predisponiéndolas a un estilo de vida sedentario en sus años posteriores.…”

Resultados: El 75,9% de la población encuestada presentó un nivel bajo y muy bajo de actividad física. En los niveles moderado e intenso, los varones fueron más activos que las mujeres con una diferencia del 5,7%. Asimismo, existió diferencia entre ambos colegios respecto al nivel de actividad física moderado e intenso (Estatal 30,1% -Particular 18,4%). Conclusiones: Según el Cuestionario PAQ -A, en esta población de escolares de edades entre 14 y 17 años de ambos colegios de San Martín de Porres, el nivel de actividad física fue bajo.PALABRAS CLAVE: Actividad Física, Cuestionario PAQ-A, Escolares de secundaria. SUMMARYObjectives: To determinate the physical activity level of teenagers around 14 -17 years and who come from public and private schools of San Martin de Porres district.
