Resumo: | In an attempt to understand the problem of declining physical activity (PA) among adolescents, there has been an increasing interest in identifying perceived barriers (PB) that can reduce the involvement of adolescents in PA. The aim of this study was to identify PB to PA practice among public high school students. The samples was composed of 348 students aged 14-19 years, 46.8% females and 53.2% males. To investigate BP, an instrument consisting of 12 statements and validated for the study population was used. The analysis of results was carried out by descriptive statistics, Kruskal Wallis test to check the possible differences in PB throughout high school years and chi-square for the difference in proportions of barriers. Having many tasks to do, lack of time and adverse weather conditions were the most cited PB. There was no difference in the perception of barriers among high school years (males: p = 0.44; females: p = 0.23). PB “not having how to go or return” (p = 0.04), “adverse weather conditions” and “laziness” (p = 0.02), “lack of time” (p = 0.01) and “at home nobody performs PA” (p = 0.04) showed statistically significant differences between sexes. Both sexes reported similar barriers; however, girls reported higher number of PB and with greater frequency. Identifying which PB prevent the adoption of a physically active lifestyle may be the beginning of solutions to minimize the negative effects. |

Procurando entender o problema do declínio da atividade física (AF) entre os adolescentes, cresce a importância de se identificar quais as barreiras percebidas (BP) que podem reduzir a chance de envolvimento na prática de AF. Objetivou-se identificar as BP à prática de AF pelos escolares do Ensino Médio (EM) de uma escola pública federal. Participaram 348 escolares, de 14 a 19 anos, 46,8% do sexo feminino e 53,2% do sexo masculino. Para investigar as BP foi utilizado um instrumento composto por 12 afirmativas, validado para a população do estudo. Foi realizada análise dos resultados por estatística descritiva, teste de Kruskal Wallis para verificar a possível diferença das BP entre os anos de EM e Qui-quadrado para a diferença de proporções das barreiras. Ter muitas tarefas para fazer, a falta de tempo e as adversidades climáticas, foram as BP que receberam maiores frequências de respostas positivas. Não foi encontrada diferença na percepção das barreiras entre os anos de EM (masculino: p=0,44; feminino: p=0,23). As barreiras “não tenho como ir ou voltar” (p=0,04), “o clima dificulta” e “tenho preguiça” (p=0,02), “falta tempo” (p=0,01) e “em casa ninguém faz” (p=0,04) apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os sexos. Ambos os sexos relataram barreiras semelhantes, porém, as meninas referiram um maior número de BP e com maiores frequências de respostas. A identificação de quais as BP que dificultam ou impedem a adoção de um estilo de vida fisicamente ativo, pode ser o início de soluções que minimizem os efeitos negativos destas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.

Both sexes reported similar barriers; however, girls reported higher number of PB and with greater frequency.
