ABSTRACT
SUMMARY Obesity is a disease characterized by the accumulation of abnormal or excessive fat that can damage health. Bariatric surgery, an effective and safe way to treat this disease, requires multidisciplinary monitoring with an educational nature to change lifestyle. Adherence to routine physical activity can be a part of adopting a healthier lifestyle and can assist in the treatment of this disease and its related comorbidities. OBJECTIVE: Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the evolution of anthropometric variables and the domains of quality of life at different times, including at one year after bariatric surgery in very active and irregularly active individuals. METHODS: This was a longitudinal, observational, prospective, and analytical study. The collected data included anamnesis, level of physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form), height, weight, body mass index (BMI), average waist circumference, percentage of fat, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Bref. RESULTS: Seven female individuals were evaluated and divided into two groups: a very active group and an irregularly active group. In the very active individuals, significant results were found in the evolutionary variables: weight (p<0.001); body mass index (p<0.001); average waist circumference (p<0.001); percentage of fat (p<0.001); and quality of life general (p=0.001). In the irregularly active individuals, a significant result was found only in one evolutionary variable: body mass index (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Thus, it is evident that the improvement and maintenance of good health is more effective in bariatric individuals who maintain a routine with regular physical activity.

Brincar é um dos direitos universais de toda criança, mesmo daquelas que estejam em tratamentos de doenças. No entanto, o conhecimento sobre o brincar da criança com câncer ainda precisa ser sistematizado, o que foi o objetivo desse estudo. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, do tipo estado da arte, de estudos disponíveis no Portal da CAPES. Os estudos versaram sobre oportunidades de brincar, opinião de pais, e de equipes de enfermagem. Embora as atividades contivessem elementos lúdicos, foram oferecidas visando apenas o tratamento. Há consenso que brincar auxilia na adesão ao tratamento e na socialização. Faltam espaços físicos para brincar nos hospitais. A formação profissional é pouco discutida. O direito ao brincar por brincar é raro. Estudos são necessários para expandir vivências lúdicas de crianças com câncer.

RESUMO Brincar é uma ação criativa que pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento infantil. Porém, mudanças diminuíram as possibilidades de brincar. O objetivo deste estudo foi construir brinquedos com material alternativo para as crianças atendidas em escolas infantis, ampliando as possibilidades do brincar na escola. Etapa a) oficina com 26 professoras; etapa b) estação de brinquedos alternativos com participação das crianças. Na oficina, houve diálogos entre as professoras e foram a confeccionados 38 brinquedos. Na estação, os pre-escolares se beneficiaram mais do brinquedo que os bebês, dado que os pais dos bebês ficaram com eles no colo a maior parte do tempo. As opções de brincar foram ampliadas, além de possibilitar vivências motoras. Os brinquedos alternativos podem ser utilizados na pré-escola como uma opção que propicia diversão e favorece o desenvolvimento de habilidades.
