ABSTRACT

O presente estudo teve como objetivo traduzir para o português do Brasil e analisar a validade de conteúdo da Leisure Attitude Scale (LAS), propondo assim a versão brasileira do instrumento a Escala de Atitudes ao Lazer (EAL). Seguindo os critérios estabelecidos por Herdman, Fox-Rushby e Badia (1998) o método utilizado para a tradução e adaptação transcultural foi constituído pelas análises das equivalências conceitual, de itens, semântica, operacional e de mensuração. As etapas do processo foram: tradução e retrotradução, revisão técnica, avaliação da clareza da linguagem, pertinência prática e relevância teórica, aplicação dos instrumentos em grupo focal; reteste, e, por fim, a aplicação do instrumento finalizado em amostra de indivíduos adultos. Participaram do estudo adultos de ambos os sexos, trabalhadores do setor industriário da Grande Florianópolis ­ SC/Brasil. A amostra foi composta por 180 trabalhadores para análise da reprodutibilidade e 992 para os indicadores de consistência interna. Além disso, onze especialistas na área do lazer contribuíram para o processo de adaptação transcultural e validade de conteúdo do instrumento. Os especialistas atribuíram valores satisfatórios para a análise de conteúdo nos itens clareza e linguagem (CVCt = 0,818), pertinência prática (CVCt = 0,782) e relevância teórica (X = 3,91; DP = 0,83). Os índices de reprodutibilidade por meio da análise de correlação intraclasse em teste-reteste foram considerados adequados em todos os domínios da LAS (cognitivo = 0,785 - bom; emocional = 0,847 - ótimo; comportamental = 0,923 - excelente). Além disso, o Alpha de Cronbach apresentou valor de 0,958. Pode-se afirmar que a EAL se constitui em instrumento válido para a investigação das atitudes dos adultos face ao lazer nos domínios cognitivo, afetivo e comportamental, apresentando adequados indicadores psicométricos de validade, reprodutibilidade e consistência interna.


The purpose of this study was to translate to Brazilian Portuguese and to analyze the content validity of the Leisure Attitude Scale (LAS), thus proposing the Brazilian version of the instrument, the Brazilian Leisure Attitude Scale (EAL). Following the criteria established by Herdman, Fox-Rushby e Badia (1998), the methodology used for transcultural translation and adaptation, the conceptual, item, semantic, operational and measurement equivalences were respected. The stages of the process were: translation and back-translation, technical review, language clarity assessment, practical relevance and theoretical relevance, application of the focus group tools; retest, and, finally, the application of the completed instrument. The study included adults of both sexes, workers from the industrial sector of Greater Florianopolis - SC / Brazil. The sample consisted of 180 workers for analysis of reproducibility and 992 for indicators of internal consistency. In addition, eleven experts in the field of leisure have contributed to the process of cross-cultural adaptation and content validity of the instrument. The authors attributed satisfactory values to the content analysis in terms of clarity and language (CVCt = 0.818), practical relevance (CVCt = 0.782) and theoretical relevance (X = 3.91, SD = 0.83). The reproducibility indices by the intra-class correlation in test-retest were considered adequate in all domains of LAS (cognitive = 0.785- good, emotional = 0.847 - optimal, behavioral = 0.923 - excellent). In addition, Cronbach's Alpha presented a value of 0.958. We can say that the Brazilian version of LAS, the EAL is a valid instrument for the investigation of adults' attitudes towards leisure in the cognitive, affective and behavioral domains, presenting adequate psychometric indicators of validity, reproducibility and internal consistency.

ABSTRACT

abstract - This paper is an update of the systematic review on Active Play published in 2018 by Mendes et al. This systematic review included studies published between 2018 and 2019. The search for potential articles was performed on the following electronic databases: Pubmed/Medline, Web of Science, Bireme, Scielo and Scopus. Initially, 471 papers met the eligibility criteria. However, after deeply analyzed, only two studies remained and were included in the present review. From these articles only one presented individual information on play activity among adolescents age (12-17 years) from Curitiba-PR and it reveals that 77,2% of them were physically active in their free time. The other study included was about the preferences for leisure activities among adolescents from Florianopolis-SC participants in two cross sectional studies in 2001 and 2011. It showed a significant reduction in the preferences for practicing physical activities, while the opposite occurs with sedentary activities like watching TV, playing video games, and using computers. These results along with the inconsistencies in benchmarks of the domain active play among countries involved in the Global Matrix 3.0 made clear the necessity of a standard definition and a proper tool to measure it.


resumo - Este artigo é uma atualização da revisão sistemática sobre Active Play publicada em 2018 por Mendes et al. Esta revisão sistemática incluiu estudos publicados entre 2018 até 2019. A busca de potenciais artigos foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados eletrônicas: Pubmed / Medline, Web of Science, Bireme, Scielo e Scopus. Inicialmente, 471 artigos atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. Porém, após análise aprofundada, apenas dois estudos permaneceram e foram incluídos na presente revisão. Destes artigos, apenas um apresentou informações individuais sobre a atividade física entre adolescentes de 12 a 17 anos de idade de Curitiba-PR e revelou que 77,2% deles eram fisicamente ativos no tempo livre. O outro estudo foi sobre as preferências por atividades de lazer entre adolescentes de Florianópolis-SC avaliados nos anos de 2001 e 2011. Este apresentou redução significativa na preferência pela prática de atividades físicas, enquanto o contrário foi observado para atividades sedentárias, como assistir TV, jogar videogame e usar o computador. Esses resultados, juntamente com as inconsistências nos pontos de corte do domínio active play entre os países envolvidos na Matriz Global 3.0, deixaram claro a necessidade de uma definição padrão e de uma ferramenta adequada para medi-la.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Maintenance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and social role (SR) is crucial to keep independent life because the decline in SR and IADL was a significant predictor of dependence in basic ADL in later. The independent effect of physical and cultural leisure activities and their effect modification on the IADL remains unknown.@*METHODS@#We prospectively observed 3241 elderly with intact IADL at baseline for 5 years. Higher level functional capacity such as IADL and SR was assessed using the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of competence (TMIG index).@*RESULTS@#The mean age of the participants was 72.3 years (standard deviation 5.1), and 46.9% were male, and 90.9% of them received a follow-up assessment. Of the participants, 10.4% developed an IADL decline. Engagement in leisure physical activity was associated with a significantly lower risk of IADL decline (adjusted risk ratio, 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60 to 0.89), and cultural leisure activity was also associated with lower risk of IADL decline (adjusted risk ratio, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.95) independent of potential confounders. We also found significant and positive interaction between physical and cultural leisure activities at risk for IADL decline (P = 0.024) and SR decline (P = 0.004).@*CONCLUSIONS@#We found an independent association of physical and cultural leisure activities with a lower risk for functional decline in IADL and SR with positive interaction. Combined engagement in physical and cultural activities may effectively prevent from IADL decline and SR decline.

ABSTRACT

Abstract A systematic review of the prevalence of Active Play in Brazilian children and adolescents was performed. Only fully available scientific papers that measured Active Play or leisure time physical activity independently from other types of physical activity in Brazilian children and/or adolescents were considered for inclusion. The search for potential articles was performed on the following electronic databases: Pubmed/Medline, Web of Science, Bireme, Scielo and Scopus. Initially, 63 papers met the eligibility criteria. However, after deeply analyzed, seven studies remained and were included in the present review. The overall prevalence of Active Play was 36%, in which varied from 27.2% to 79.3%. Boys presented a prevalence of 47%, ranging from 39,1% to 79.9%, while the prevalence in girls reached 26%, varying from 13.9% to 78.7%. Although the prevalence of Active Play in Brazil in not satisfactory, the potential to present a reliable data regarding this theme should be highlighted. In agreement with some other studies, boys presented a higher prevalence of physical activity than girls. Also, any socioeconomic pattern regarding the prevalence of Active Play in children and adolescents was observed when the results from this study were compared to other studies developed in other countries from several socioeconomic status. The Active Play should be further investigated individually, as a pivotal component of physical activity, as well as its impact on physical inactivity-related comorbidities.


Resumo Foi realizada Revisão sistemática acerca da prevalência de brincadeiras ativas em crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Apenas trabalhos científicos totalmente disponíveis que mediram a atividade física praticada como brincadeira ou lazer em crianças e/ou adolescentes brasileiros foram considerados para inclusão. A busca por artigos foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados eletrônicas: PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Bireme, Scielo e Scopus. Inicialmente, 63 artigos preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade, e após análise minuciosa, sete estudos foram incluídos na presente revisão. A prevalência geral de brincadeiras ativas foi de 36%, variando de 27,2% a 79,3%. Os meninos apresentaram prevalência de 47%, variando de 39,1% a 79,9%, enquanto a prevalência nas meninas chegou a 26%, variando de 13,9% a78,7%. Embora no Brasil essa prevalência não seja satisfatória, destaca-se o potencial de apresentar dados relevantes sobre esta temática. Corroborando com outros estudos, os meninos apresentaram maior prevalência de atividade física como brincadeira ou lazer que as meninas. Além disso, não foi encontrado um padrão socioeconômico em relação à prevalência de brincadeiras ativas em crianças e adolescentes quando os resultados deste estudo foram comparados com outros estudos desenvolvidos em outros países de diferentes condições socioeconômicas. Portanto, brincadeiras ativas devem ser investigadas individualmente, como um componente essencial da atividade física, bem como seu impacto nas comorbidades relacionadas à inatividade física.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the status of cognitive function and leisure activity participation among the elderly in urban communities, and to explore the relationship between cognitive activities and leisure activities. Methods Using the General Demographic Data Questionnaire,the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale and Leisure Activities Questionnaire, 528 elderly people were investigated. Results The cognitive function were (25.65 ± 2.58), (25.76 ± 2.48)points in elderly with recreation and intelligence activities respectively, and (25.21 ± 2.53), (25.58 ± 2.60)points in elderly without recreation and intelligence activities respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=5.56, 8.16, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between elderly with physical activity and social activities and without physical activity and social activities (P>0.05). The participation of intelligence and recreation was positively correlated with cognitive function (r =0.347, 0.270, P < 0.01), while social activities and physical activities were not correlated with cognitive function (P>0.05). Conclusions Nursing staff should pay more attention to the decline of cognitive function of the elderly, so that the elderly can recognize the importance of leisure activity, improve their enthusiasm, participate in science, enrich the quality of life in later years, improve cognitive function.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Sleep disorders and depression/anxiety disorders are long-standing and significant problem for mental health. Also there are already known so many negative health effect of these disorders. But there were few studies to examine the association between activities outside work and forementioned disorders. So this study aimed the association of those things by using the Republic of Korean data. METHODS: Data from 32,232 wage workers were used in the 4th Korean Working Condition Survey. General and occupational characteristics, sleep disorders, depression/anxiety disorders and activities outside work are included in questionnaire. To find the relationship between activities outside work and sleep, depression/anxiety disorders, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used after adjusting for general and occupational characteristics. RESULTS: We observed that volunteer activities increased the odds ratio of both sleep disorders and depression/anxiety disorders(Odds ratio[OR] = 1.35, 95% confidence interval[CI]: 1.03–1.78 and OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.29–1.84, respectively). And self-development activities increase the odds ratio of sleep disorders(OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.17–1.57). Gardening activities lowered the odds ratio of depression/anxiety disorders(OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.59–0.94). CONCLUSION: Some of activities outside work were related to sleep disorders and depression/anxiety disorders among Korean wage workers. Our results showed negative health effect of some kinds of activities outside work such as volunteering and self-devlopment compared to other studies that emphasized positive effect of those activities for health.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Physical activity levels in adults are low and strategies should be put in place to change this. The aim of this study was to investigate whether building an urban park can increase adult neighborhood residents' intentions to partake in physical activity. In total, 395 adults living near where the park was being built participated in the study. The following information was collected: sociodemographic characteristics, current physical activity levels, and intention to use the park for physical activity. Around 80% of the subjects intended to use the park for physical activity. This frequency was higher among those who were classified as physically active and gradually higher as the distance between the home of the subject and the park decreased (p < 0.05). The offer of a public leisure space can contribute positively to changing population behavior related to regular physical activity.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Engagement in pleasant activities for elders with cognitive impairment may improve mood and reduce behavior problems. The Pleasant Events Schedule-Alzheimer’s Disease (PES-AD) has been described as a useful tool for this purpose, and its transcultural adaptation allows professionals to aid caretakers and elders in identifying pleasurable activities. Objective Submit the PES-AD to process of cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The PES-AD was submitted to a five-stage process of cross-cultural adaptation as follows: 1) translation; 2) summary of translation; 3) back-translation; 4) evaluation of equivalences: semantic, idiomatic, cultural, conceptual; and 5) pre-testing. Results The five-stage process was conducted on 36 items and three were adjusted. In the evaluation of equivalencies, four items had a level of agreement less than 0.8 and so were modified according to judges’ suggestions. Discussion Submitting the PES-AD to a five-stage, cross-cultural adaptation maintained the original instrument’s content validity.

ABSTRACT

Com o passar dos anos, a relação entre o idoso e a atividade física se tornou extremamente comum na sociedade. A mídia, o saber médico e o Estado propagam a importância de um estilo de vida ativo, afeto ao lazer, que potencializa as chances de longevidade. Este estudo buscou compreender como o campo das práticas de atividades físicas para os idosos se configurou no Brasil. Através de quatro entrevistas não estruturadas, do tipo guiada, construímos uma versão para o processo de gênese das práticas de atividades físicas para idosos. A Teoria do Campo de Pierre Bourdieu possibilitou analogias e interpretações das prováveis influências entre diversos campos sociais, primordialmente com o campo internacional. O período compreendido entre 1960 e 1980 foi o recorte temporal utilizado. Observou-se que a influência dos campos econômico, político, da saúde e educacional, em maior ou menor escala, acabou por forjar o campo da prática de atividade física pelo idoso na sociedade brasileira.


Over the years the relationship between the elderly and physical activity has become extremely common in society. The media, medical knowledge and the State spread the importance of an active lifestyle, related to leisure, which enhances the chances of longevity. This study investigated how the of practice of physical activities for seniors is set in Brazil. Through four guided unstructured interviews, we built a version for the genesis process of physical activities practice for seniors. Pierre Bourdieu?s Field Theory led to analogies and interpretations of the likely influences between different social s, primarily with international . The study considered the time frame period between 1960 and 1980. The results showed that the influence of economic, political, health and educational s, to a greater or lesser extent, eventually forged the of physical activities practiced by the elderly in Brazilian society.

ABSTRACT

RESUMOA prática de atividade física contribui para o envelhecimento saudável favorecendo a qualidade de vida. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a associação das condições de saúde e qualidade de vida com a prática de atividade física (PAF) no lazer em idosos rurais. Trata-se de inquérito domiciliar transversal e analítico conduzido com 850 idosos residentes em área rural. Utilizou-se análise descritiva, testes qui-quadrado e t-Student e regressões logística e linear múltipla (p<0,05). Idosos inativos apresentaram maior indicativo de depressão (p<0,003) e número de morbidades (p=0,035). A PAF no lazer foi associada aos maiores escores nos domínios físico (p<0,001), psicológico (p=0,001) e meio ambiente (p<0,001). A prática de atividade física no lazer deve ser incentivada tendo em vista o seu impacto positivo nas condições de saúde e na qualidade de vida.


ABSTRACTRegular physical activity contributes to healthy aging favoring quality of life. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of health and quality of life with physical activity (PAF) at leisure in the rural elderly. It is cross-sectional analytical household survey conducted with 850 elderly living in rural areas. We used descriptive analysis, chi-square and t-Student and logistics and multiple linear regressions (p<0.05). Inactive elderly showed greater indicative of depression (p<0.003) and number of comorbidities (p=0.035). The PAF during leisure time was associated with higher scores in (p<0.001), psychological (p=0.001) and environment (p<0.001) physical domains. The practice of physical activity in leisure time should be encouraged in view of its positive impact on health and quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O sedentarismo é visto como um importante problema de saúde pública, estando relacionado às doenças e aos agravos não transmissíveis. A prática de atividade física de lazer tem sido associada à redução desses riscos para a saúde. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência da prática de atividade física de lazer e fatores associados na população adulta. Método: Trata-se de um inquérito populacional em saúde, realizado em adultos entre 18 e 65 anos de idade, residentes no município de Rio Branco, Acre, por meio de amostragem probabilística. Os dados foram analisados no programa STATA v.10 e foi adotado o nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados: Foram entrevistadas 1.407 pessoas, 44% do sexo masculino e 56% do sexo feminino. Dos entrevistados, apenas 13,8% referiram praticar exercícios físicos nas horas de lazer. Entre as mulheres, 10% foram consideradas ativas e entre os homens 18%. Os fatores que estiveram associados à atividade física na hora de lazer foram sexo, escolaridade, acesso a locais adequados à prática de exercícios físicos e idade. Conclusões: Observou-se um baixo percentual de indivíduos que praticava exercícios físicos nas horas de lazer, sendo que as mulheres, o grupo de maior faixa etária, os de baixa escolaridade, os fumantes diários e aqueles que não possuem acesso a locais destinados à prática de exercícios apresentaram maior estimativa de risco para a inatividade física na hora do lazer.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a validade e fidedignidade de um instrumento para avaliar a percepção de barreiras para o uso da bicicleta no lazer e no transporte em adultos. Os itens que compuseram o instrumento foram selecionados a partir da revisão da literatura sobre o tema. A validade de conteúdo foi analisada pelo parecer consensual de especialistas da área de atividade física. A fidedignidade foi verificada por meio da consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach) e concordância (correlação intraclasse-CCI, coeficiente de Kappa e concordância relativa), em uma amostra de 66 adultos (18-79 anos), selecionados em três setores censitários de Curitiba-PR. Os dados foram analisados pelo programa SPSS versão 17.0, com nível de significância de 5%. A maior parte da amostra foi composta por mulheres (59%), com idade >40 anos (47%) e nível socioeconômico médio (68%). A frequência de utilização de bicicleta no lazer foi maior do que no transporte (15,2 vs 7,6%). A consistência interna dos itens apresentou valor de alpha Cronbach (α) significativo, tanto no lazer (α=0,77) quanto no transporte (α=0,82) e os itens da escala apresentaram concordância elevada no lazer (80,3 a 93,9%) e no transporte (76,9 a 90,8%). Os valores de Kappa foram moderados a elevados para os dois domínios (lazer: 0,41-0,82 e transporte: 0,53-0,82). O CCI dos subescores foi de 0,93 (IC95%: 0,88-0,96) e 0,89 (IC95%: 0,82-0,94) para o lazer e transporte, respectivamente. Conclui-se que o instrumento apresenta qualidade psicométrica adequada para avaliar barreiras para o uso de bicicleta em adultos.


The purpose of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of an instrument to assess the perception of barriers related to bicycling for leisure and transportation in adults. The items composing the instrument were selected from the literature review on the subject. Content validity was analyzed by consulting experts in physical activity field. The reliability was assessed through internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and agreement (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), kappa coefficient and relative agreement in a sample of 66 adults (18-79 years old) selected from three census tracts in Curitiba-PR. Data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0, with a significance level of 5%. Most of the sample consisted of women (60%), aged> 40 years (47%) and intermediate socioeconomic level (68%). The frequency of bicycling in leisure time was higher than for transportation means (15.2 vs 7.6%). The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was significant, both in leisure time (α=0.77) and transportation (α=0.82). The agreement was higher for leisure (80.3 to 93.9%) than compared to commuting (76.9 to 90.8%). Kappa values were moderate to high (leisure: 0.41 to 0.82: commuting: 0.53 to 0.82). The ICC sub-scores were 0.93 (CI95%: 0.88 to 0.96) and 0.89 (CI95%: 0.82 to 0.94) for leisure and transport, respectively. It follows that the instrument has psychometric quality suitable for measuring the barriers to bicycle use in adults.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a associação das características do ambiente urbano e social percebidos com o não atendimento das recomendações em relação à atividade física (NARAF), no lazer (AFL) e no deslocamento (AFD) em adultos de Florianópolis, SC. Amostra sistemática de 746 pessoas da região continental obtida por lista telefônica. Utilizou-se o questionário internacional de atividade física versão longa e o questionário da escala de mobilidade ativa no ambiente comunitário News Adaptado. Os desfechos investigados foram: NARAF nas AFL e AFD. As variáveis exploratórias foram características sócio-demográfi cas, percepção do ambiente, saúde geral e índice de massa corporal. Análise de regressão logística para estimar as razões de chance bruta e ajustada dos atributos do ambiente urbano e social das pessoas que NARAF. A Prevalência de pessoas que NARAF nas AFL foi de 77% e nas AFD foi de 72,4% (IC95%). No modelo múltiplo, nas AFD, os atributos do ambiente associados a menos chance de NARAF foram: morar na área até 500m e a 501-1000m da costa (áreas residencial e comercial) e ter agência bancária até 10 minutos de casa. Nas AFL, os atributos associados a menos chance de NARAF foram: ruas iluminadas e clubes esportivos próximo de casa e morar próximo a orla marítima.

ABSTRACT

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar os fatores associados à atividade física no lazer entre residentes em áreas urbanas. Estudo epidemiológico de corte transversal com amostra representativa da população urbana de Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brasil, de 15 anos ou mais de idade. A amostra foi constituída por 3.597 indivíduos, 71,4 por cento do sexo feminino e 28,6 por cento do sexo masculino. Foi utilizado um questionário contendo informações sociodemograficas, doenças referidas e prática de atividade física no lazer. Foram estimadas as razões de prevalência e respectivos intervalos de confiança a 95 por cento. Adotou-se nível de significância estatística de 5 por cento (p>0,05). Encontrou-se uma frequência de 27,7 por cento de indivíduos considerados ativos no lazer. A análise dos dados revelou que características sociodemográficas (sexo, renda e escolaridade) estavam associadas à maior frequência de atividade física. A população do município de Feira de Santana apresenta uma elevada frequência de indivíduos inativos no lazer, principalmente, entre as mulheres, pessoas de baixa renda e entre aqueles com menor escolaridade. Estes achados fomentam a discussão sobre a necessidade de implementação de políticas públicas de saúde e a criação de espaços de prática do lazer ativo.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Este trabalho visa a verificar se de fato existe relação entre o risco de demência e a falta de estímulo físico ou mental em idosos. MÉTODOS: Trezentos e três idosos, com idade de 80 anos ou mais, foram estudados por meio de questionários específicos e distribuídos em três grupos de acordo com a prática de atividade física ou mental. Todos foram submetidos ao Miniexame do Estado Mental (MEEM) e, a partir da pontuação obtida, considerando diferentes pontos de corte, de acordo com a escolaridade, foi comparado o risco de desenvolvimento de demência entre os grupos. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença da pontuação entre sexos. Comparando as incidências de risco aumentado de demência, os indivíduos que não praticavam atividade alguma tiveram risco relativo de 4,27, quando comparados com os indivíduos que praticavam atividade mental, e de 2,21, quando comparados aos praticantes de atividade física. Esses últimos tiveram risco relativo de 1,93, em relação aos praticantes de atividade mental. CONCLUSÃO: A prática regular de atividades físicas e mentais retarda o declínio cognitivo, reduzindo o risco de demência. Entre essas atividades, as mentais foram mais eficazes.


OBJECTIVE: This study aims to verify if there is a relation between risk of dementia and the absence of physical or mental stimulation in the elderly. METHODS: Three hundred and three elderly people with the age of 80 years old or over, were assessed by means of the specific questionnaires.
