Resumo: | The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between physical activity measured by accelerometry and excess weight in schoolchildren. Three hundred and ninety one school-age adolescents (10 to 18 years old) participated in the study. The cut-off points used to estimate time spent in physical activity were: moderate ≥3.0 METs and vigorous ≥6.0 METs. Student’s t-test and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient were used to verify statistical differences and correlations between physical activity and body mass index (BMI). Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Male schoolchildren spent more time in moderate (96.1 ± 39.6 min.day-1) and vigorous (9.7 ± 8.8 min.day-1) physical activity than their female peers (moderate: 73.7 ± 37.7 min.day-1; vigorous: 6.1 ± 6.8 min.day-1). For both sexes, younger schoolchildren (10 to 14 years old) were more physically active than older ones (14 to 18 years old). Time spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity was inversely related to BMI. These findings suggest that regular physical activity (RPA) is related to body weight reduction in schoolchildren. Therefore, RPA can be used as an obesity prevention strategy in elementary school. |

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a associação da atividade física medida pelo acelerômetro com o excesso de peso corporal em escolares. Trezentos e noventa e um adolescentes em idade escolar (10 a 18 anos) participaram deste estudo. Os pontos de corte utilizados para determinar o tempo gasto em atividade física foram: moderada ≥ 3,0 METs e vigorosa ≥ 6,0 METs. Teste t de Student e coeficiente de correlação produto-momento de Pearson foram utilizados para verificar diferenças estatísticas e associações entre atividade física e IMC. A significância estatística foi fixada em p <0,05. Escolares do sexo masculino passaram mais tempo em atividade física moderada (96,1 ± 39,6 min/dia) e vigorosa (9,7 ± 8,8 min/dia) do que o sexo feminino (moderado: 73,7 ± 37,7 min/dia; vigorosa: 6,1 ± 6,8 min/dia). Para ambos os sexos, os escolares mais jovens (10 a <14 anos) foram mais ativos fisicamente do que os escolares mais velhos (14 a <18 anos). Tempo despendido em atividade física moderada e vigorosa foi inversamente relacionado ao IMC. Estes achados sugerem que a prática regular de atividade física está relacionada a redução do peso corporal em escolares. Por conseguinte, pode ser usado como uma estratégia de prevenção da obesidade na escola elementar.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
