Resumo: | The objective of this study was to determine the physical activity level (PAL) and sedentary behavior of students from the city of Aracaju (SE). A total of 1028 students of both genders participated in the study, with a mean age of 15.38 (2.44) years for girls and 15.24 (2.40) years for boys. Among the sample, 24.7% were children and 75.3% were adolescents, with a mean age of 12.07 (0.88) and 16.39 (1.72) years, respectively. An instrument already used in Brazilian studies was applied to identify the average time (hours) watching TV per day (hTV) and PAL – PAQ-C. Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent samples, Fisher’s exact test and comparison test between two proportions were used for data analysis, with the level of significance set at 5% (p≤0.05). Boys presented a significantly higher physical activity score 2.25 (0.60) than girls. The prevalence of sedentarism was 72.5, 89.3 and 85.2% in the groups of children and adolescents and in the group as a whole, respectively, for girls, and 55.4, 74.8 and 69.8% for boys. No differences in hTV were observed between genders or between sedentary and physically active students (p > 0.05). We conclude that a) there is a high prevalence of “sedentary” and “very sedentary” children and adolescents; b) boys present a higher PAL than girls; c) adolescents are less active than children, and d) the number of hTV is high in the group studied. |

Participaram do estudo 1028 estudantes de ambos os sexos, com uma média de 15,38 (2,44) e 15,24 (2,40) anos de idade para o sexo feminino e masculino, respectivamente. Da amostra, 24,7% eram crianças e 75,3% adolescentes, com uma média de 12,07 (0,88) e 16,39 (1,72) anos de idade, respectivamente. Utilizou-se um instrumento já aplicado em estudos nacionais, com o qual se identificou o tempo médio de horas assistindo TV (hTV) por dia e o NAF – PAQ-C. Para a análise de dados, foram empregados a estatística descritiva, o teste “t” para amostras independentes, o Exato de Fisher e o teste de comparação entre duas proporções. Adotou-se nível de significância de 5% (p≤0,05). O sexo masculino teve um escore de 2,25 (0,60) para atividade física, significativamente, maior que o feminino. A prevalência de sedentarismo foi 72,5, 89,3 e 85,2% para o sexo feminino, considerando os, grupos pos “crianças”, adolescentes” e “todo o grupo”, respectivamente, sendo para o masculino uma prevalência de 55,4, 74,8 e 69,8% para os mesmos grupos considerados. Não houve diferenças quando consideradas as hTV entre os sexos e nem ao comparar escolares sedentários com ativos fisicamente (p>0,05). Concluiu-se que: a) há alta prevalência de crianças e adolescentes caracterizados como “sedentários” e “muito sedentários”; b) o sexo masculino apresentou maiores NAF que o feminino c) adolescentes são menos ativos do que as crianças. d) há grande quantitativo de hTV no grupo estudado.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
