Resumo: Objective: to compare physical activity and sedentary behavior in university students and secondary students. Methods: the cross-sectional study involved 202 selected secondary students and 171 university students. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was administered to the respondents. Percentages, chi-square test, Mann Whitney U test and linear regression were used for data analysis. Results: about 63% and 32% of secondary and university students, respectively, reported high levels of physical activity, while 84.7% and 71.9% of secondary and undergraduate students, respectively, met guidelines for sedentary behavior. The secondary students had significantly higher scores than the university students in vigorous (p=0.004), moderate (p<0.001), and total physical activity (p<0.001). The observed difference was more prominent among females. Conclusion: secondary students had higher scores of physical activity and spent less time in sedentary behavior.

Métodos: estudo transversal com 202 estudantes do ensino médio e 171 universitários. O Questionário Global de Atividade Física foi aplicado aos participantes. Porcentagens, os testes Qui-quadrado e Mann-Whitney, e regressão linear foram utilizados para a análise dos dados. Resultados: cerca de 63% e 32% dos estudantes de ensino médio e universitários, respectivamente, relataram níveis altos de atividade física, enquanto 84,7% e 71,9% deles, respectivamente, atenderam às diretrizes para comportamento sedentário. A pontuação dos estudantes de ensino médio foi significativamente maior que a dos alunos universitários em atividade física vigorosa (p=0,004), moderada (p<0,001), e total (p<0,001). As diferenças encontradas foram maiores entre mulheres. Conclusão: os alunos do ensino médio apresentaram maiores escores de atividade física e despenderam menos tempo em comportamentos sedentários.Universidade Federal do Ceará2022-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/7143310.15253/2175-6783.20222371433Rev Rene; Vol 23 (2022): Rev Rene; e71433Rev Rene; v. 23 (2022): Rev Rene; e714332175-67831517-3852reponame:Rev Rene (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporenghttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/71433/217918http://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/71433/217919Copyright (c) 2022 Rev Renehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNaidoo, NatalieOlagbegi, Oladapo MichaelNadasan, ThayanantheeAfolabi, Joshua Oluwafisayo2022-01-05T12:50:41Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/71433Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/renePUBhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/oairene@ufc.br||2175-67831517-3852opendoar:2022-01-05T12:50:41Rev Rene (Online) - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
