“…The girls' lower participation in PE classes can contribute to explain the lower levels of global PA observed in this group. A positive experience in the PE classes is positively associated with global participation in PA 21 . Therefore, time optimization and the quality of the PE classes can favor and stimulate PA among adolescents.…”

Physical activity (PA) during adolescence promotes health benefits and can be an indicator of PA in adulthood. This study aims to identify physical activity patterns in a sample of 1,129 students (58.5% of girls), aged between 14 and 18 years, from High Schools of Ponta Grossa, PR. In this study, the following data were collected: sociodemographic information, weight, height, sedentary behavior, active commuting to school, moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA), and participation in physical education (PE) classes. For data analysis we used absolute and relative frequency distribution and the chi-square test for proportions. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between different contexts of PA and the independent variables. Statistical calculations were developed by the SPSS 16.0 program and a significance level of p <0.05 was adopted. The prevalence of overweight was 19.1% (CI=14.7-29.8%), higher among boys (26.3% versus 14.1%: p <0.01). Most of the students are active regarding commuting to school (58.8%), MVPA (71%) and PE classes (85.5%), and present sedentary behavior that lasts between 1 and 4 hours (55.2%) per day. There was an association between participating in PE classes and active commuting to school (p <0.05). Girls and adolescents aged 17-18 years participate less in PE classes. Teenagers who do not work are the ones who least practice MVPA. It is concluded that special attention should be given to these groups, promoting intervention programs and encouraging the practice of PA.

“…Moreno and Cervello () discovered that those who participated in physical activity more than three times a week had higher scores in sport competence than those who participated once a week or less. Juan, Bengoechea, Montes and Bush () concluded that more positive self‐perceptions were positively associated with vigorous, moderate and light physical activity levels. For participants in Juan et al .…”

“…Los resultados más bajos son característicos de las personas menos activas, mientras que las puntuaciones más altas son indicativas de los individuos más activos. De acuerdo con investigaciones previas realizadas con adolescentes que utilizan esta misma medida (Piéron et al, 2008;Ruiz-Juan et al, 2010) y para representar mejor los patrones de actividad física, la puntuación se utilizó para clasificar a los participantes en actividad vigorosa, moderada, ligera e insuficiente. Para fines analíticos, se crea una variable dicotómica mediante la agrupación de los participantes clasificados como vigorosamente activos y moderadamente activos (alto nivel de actividad físico-deportiva), por un lado, y ligeramente activos e insuficientemente activos (bajo nivel de actividad físico-deportiva), por otro lado.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo fue analizar la influencia de la competencia percibida en el sexo, el patrón de actividad físico-deportiva y las etapas de cambio en la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva de tiempo libre. La muestra fue de 2168 estudiantes del primer curso de Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria, de Costa Rica (423), México (408) y España (1337). Se realizaron análisis de Chi-cuadrado (x 2 ), tstudent, ANOVA y modelo lineal univariante. Los alumnos con mayor índice de práctica y en etapas activas presentaron una mayor competencia percibida, siendo superior también en los chicos que en las chicas. Por los resultados de esta investigación, hay pocas posibilidades de que la mayoría de los escolares Rev.int.med.cienc.act.fís.deporte -vol. 17 -número 67 -ISSN: 1577-0354 574 lleguen a ser físicamente activos. Por tanto, en los tres países existe un nivel bajo de actividad físico-deportiva que podría mejorar a través de diseños metodológicos en la Educación Física escolar orientados a la mejora de competencia.PALABRAS CLAVE: actividad física, actitudes, salud, competencia motriz percibida. ABSTRACTThe objective was to analyze the influence of perceived competence on gender, the pattern of physical-sport activity and the stages of change in the practice of physical activity in leisure. The sample was of 2168 students of the first course of Compulsory Secondary Education, of Costa Rica (423), Mexico (408) and Spain (1337). Chi-square (x2), t-student, ANOVA and univariate linear model analyzes were performed. The students with the highest index of practice and in active stages presented a greater perceived competence, also being superior in the boys than in the girls. From the results of this research, it is very probably that most schoolchildren will not become physically active. Therefore, in the three countries there is a low level of physical-sport activity that could be improved through methodological designs in Physical Education aimed at improving perceived competence.
