Introduction: The present study aimed to identify the relationship between quality of life (QL) and physical activity (PA) in college students attending a Physical Education Course. Materials and Methods: The research had a traverse and descriptive method, with 85 college students (46 male and 39 female) from Ponta Grossa -PR municipal district. The level of PA (physical activity) by IPAQ (brief version) and QL were measured applying the WHOQOL-Bref. To verify association between sex and PA the test quisquare was used. In the WHOQOL analysis the U test of Mann-Whitney was used to examine the possible differences between sexes and to measure internal consistency the coeffi cient Alpha of Cronbach was used, for the analysis of relationship between PA and QL the Spearman's Rho correlation was used, with signifi cance of p <0.05 . Results: The results were satisfactory for PA (most of the participants were classifi ed as "very active") and QL (however the environmental domain presented the worst indexes in both sexes). Relationship between PA and QL was found just for the masculine sex. Conclusion: We also consider the necessity of carrying out prospective studies referring to the variables which were found and of investing in public policies which would focus on better life conditions for the population.

ResumenEl cuestionario Calidad de Vida, versión breve (WHOQOL-BREF) de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, es un instrumento de medición para evaluar calidad de vida en diferentes escenarios culturales. En el presente estudio se examinan sus propiedades psicométricas: la estructura factorial y consistencia interna de la versión en español, en una muestra de adultos Mexicanos empleando modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales. Se encuestó un total de 678 participantes: 491 estudiantes de pregrado, 87 choferes de autobús y, 100 cuidadores de enfermos crónicos. Se obtuvieron valores mayores a .70 del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach en las diferentes dimensiones. En el análisis factorial confirmatorio los datos mostraron un ajuste débil con el modelo original de 4 factores. En el último modelo se eliminaron 7 reactivos observándose una mejoría importante en el ajuste del modelo aunque de manera insuficiente (RMR .092, GFI .869, NFI .589, RFI .539, PRATIO .891, PGFI .713). Se concluye que el SEM es un modelo adecuado para la evaluación de la estructura factorial del cuestionario. El modelo de cuatro dimensiones propuesto originalmente en el WHOQoL BREF se ajusta de forma débil a esta muestra, sin embargo se recomienda la evaluación cultural de los reactivos eliminados para obtener un mejor ajuste con el modelo teórico original.Palabras clave: modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, análisis factorial confirmatorio, calidad de vida, WHO QoL BREF, propiedades psicométricas, muestra mexicana AbstractThe World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire is a measurement instrument for assessing the quality of life in different cultural settings. The present study examine the psychometric properties: factorial structure and internal consistence of the Spanish version in a Mexican adult sample, using structural equations modelling. A total of 678 participants were tested: 491 undergraduate students, 87 bus drivers and, 100 caregivers of chronic patients. Cronbach´s alpha for different categories was high .70. In confirmatory factor analysis, the data showed differed slightly from the original 4 factor model, for the last model 7 items were eliminated, noting important in the fit of the model although insufficient improvement (RMR .092, GFI .869, NFI .589, RFI .539, PRATIO .891, PGFI .713). It is concluded that the SEM is an adequate model for the evaluation of the structure factor of the questionnaire. Four dimensional model originally proposed in the BREF WHOQoL is adjusted weak form to this sample, sin embargo A cultural assessment of deleted items is recommended in order to obtain a better adjustment to the original theoretical model.
