Resumo: The prevalence of obesity has significantly grown in the recent years, becoming a serious Public Health issue. The aim of the present study was to analyze the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children aged six to ten years in public schools in the municipality of Formiga, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, checking whether excessive weight interferes with physical performance, comparing obese children to eutrophic ones. The research was developed in three public schools, with a sample of 357 students. Tests were performed to evaluate flexibility, explosive strength, speed, corporal weight and height. The study classified 76.19% children as eutrophic, 11.48% as obese, 6.44% as overweight, 2.8% as underweight and 3.08% at risk of being underweight. The results of flexibility, explosive strength and speed tests indicated that overweight and obese children have poorer performance when compared with eutrophic ones.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade em crianças na faixa etária de seis a dez anos nas escolas públicas de Formiga-MG, verificando se o excesso de peso interfere no desempenho físico, comparando-as com crianças eutróficas. A pesquisa foi realizada em três escolas públicas e 357 alunos constituíram a amostra. Os dados coletados para a realização de testes físicos foram classificados como: corrida de 50 metros, salto horizontal parado e teste de flexibilidade. De acordo com os dados obtidos 76,19% dos alunos foram classificados como eutróficos, 11,48% classificados como obesos e 6,44% como sobrepeso. Não houve diferença significativa entre o sexo feminino e masculino no estado nutricional. Os resultados indicam que as crianças com sobrepeso e obesidade apresentaram desempenho inferior em relação às crianças eutróficas, com possíveis comprometimentos nas atividades lúdicas e desportivas, além dos prejuízos para a saúde de modo geral.Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2013-01-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEpidemiology researchPesquisa de campoapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/13991Journal of Physical Education; Vol 23 No 4 (2012); 629-634Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 23 Núm. 4 (2012); 629-634Journal of Physical Education; v. 23 n. 4 (2012); 629-6342448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/13991/11090https://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/13991/751375141309https://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/13991/751375141310Fernandes, Marcela MeloGontijo Penha, Daniel SilvaAssis, Francisco deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-10T15:38:11Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/13991Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2023-01-10T15:38:11Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false
