RESUMO: Embora reconhecida como comportamento de extrema importância na saúde da população, a prática de atividade física regular ainda é um grande desafio. Objetivo: verificar o nível de atividade física no lazer e possíveis fatores correlatados em uma comunidade acadêmica do nordeste brasileiro. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo transversal, constituído por discentes, docentes e técnicos administrativos, utilizou-se como instrumento "Mapa de Atividade Física e Saúde-MAFIS", realizou-se estatística descritiva, teste de Qui quadrado, com posterior montagem do modelo de regressão logística. Resultados: 52,1% atingiram as recomendações de atividade física (AF), os homens apresentam 65,3% (OR: 1,65; IC95%: 1,29-2,11) mais chance de serem ativos, quem gosta de AF tem duas (OR: 2,02; IC95%: 0,82-4,96) a 4,8 (OR: 4,84; IC95%: 1,99-11,8) vezes mais chance de praticar AF, achar importante fazer AF (OR: 2,23; IC95%: 0,48-10,4) e menos dias sentado aumenta de 48,3% (OR: 1,48; IC95%: 1,032- 2,130) a 53,3% (OR: 1,53; IC95%: 1,09-2,13) a chance de fazer AF e quem pensa em fazer AF (OR: 0,362; IC: 0,203-0,645) tem menos chance de ser ativo. Conclusão: Gostar, considerar importante e menos dias sentados aumentam as chances de fazer atividade física, já pensar sempre em fazer, diminui a chance de ser ativo no lazer. (AU)

ABSTRACT: Although recognized as extremely important behavior in the health of the population, the practice of a regular physical activity is still a major challenge. Aim: verifying the level of leisure-time physical activity and possible correlated factors in an academic community in northeastern Brazil. Materials and methods: this is a cross-sectional study, consisting of stu-dents, professors, and administrative technicians. The instrument "Map of Physical Activity and Health-MAFIS" was used, as well as descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, with the subsequent assembly of the logistic regression model. Results: 52.1% reached the recommendations for physical activity (PA), men were 65.3% (OR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.29 - 2.11) more likely to be active, those who like PA were two (OR: 2.02; 95% CI: 0.82- 4.96) to 4.8 (OR: 4.84; 95% CI: 1.99-11.8) times more likely to practice PA, finding it important to do AF (OR: 2.23; 95% CI: 0.48-10.4) and spending fewer days sitting increased by 48.3% (OR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1,032 - 2,130) to 53.3% (OR: 1 , 53; 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.13) the chance of doing PA and those who think about doing PA (OR: 0.362; CI: 0.203 - 0.645) are less likely to be active. Conclusion:Enjoying, considering important, and spending fewer days sitting increase the chances of doing physical activity, on the other hand, just thinking about doing it decreases the chances of being active at leisure.

Atividade física na prevenção de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em homens / Physical activity in the prevention of chronic noncommunicable diseases in men

RESUMO: Introdução: A promoção da atividade física (AF) é uma das prioridades das políticas públicas de atenção básica à saúde, especialmente para o público masculino. Objetivo: Avaliar a associação da prática de atividade física com o estilo de vida e presença doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNTs) em usuários do sexo masculino de Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS). Métodos: Participaram do estudo 119 homens na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos. A associação entre a prática de atividade física com variáveis sociodemográficas, etilismo, tabagismo, uso de medicamento, presença de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e conhecimento da política de saúde do homem foi realizada por Regressão Logística com um α=5%. Resultados: A prevalência de atividade física foi de 58,8%, entretanto 36,7% dos participantes faziam uso de medicações diariamente e 70,6% não conhecem a Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem. Além disso, fazer atividade física demonstrou como um fator de proteção contra as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (OR = 2,97; IC 95% 1,03 ­ 8,55; p = 0,043). Conclusão: A prática de atividade física em homens, independentemente da idade, tabagismo e etilismo foi associada à prevenção de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis.(AU)

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The promotion of physical activity (PA) is one of the priorities of public policies for primary health care, especially for the male audience. Objective: To evaluate the association between physical activity and life-style and presence of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in male users of the Basic Health Unit (BHU). Methods: 119 men, aged between 20 and 59 years, participated in the study. The association between the practice of physical activity with sociodemographic variables, alcoholism, smoking, use of medication, presence of chronic noncommunicable diseases and knowledge of men's health policy was carried out by Logistic Regression with an α= 5%. Results: The prevalence of physical activity was 58.8%, however 36.7% of the participants used medica-tions daily and 70.6% did not know the National Policy for Comprehensive Attention to Men's Health. In addition, physical activity proved to be a protective factor against chronic non-communicable diseases (OR= 2,97; IC 95% 1,03 ­ 8,55; p = 0,043). Conclusion: The practice of physical activity in men, regardless of age, smoking and alcohol consumption was associated with the prevention of chronic noncommunicable diseases. (AU)

Brazilian version of the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain questionnaire for musculoskeletal injuries relating to dance and sport: translation and cross-cultural adaptation

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP) is a questionnaire specifically designed to measure musculoskeletal pain or discomfort. OBJECTIVE: To perform translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the SEFIP for dancers (SEFIP-dance), for use in Brazilian Portuguese. In addition, as a secondary objective, we adapted the translated version of SEFIP-dance for use among athletes or exercise practitioners (SEFIP-sport). DESIGN AND SETTING: Questionnaire translation and cross-cultural adaptation study conducted at a public university. METHODS: The Brazilian version of the SEFIP-dance questionnaire was developed following the processes of translation (involving two translators with Brazilian Portuguese as their mother tongue and fluency in English), backtranslation (involving two translators with English as their mother tongue and fluency in Brazilian Portuguese), committee review and pre-testing. SEFIP-sport was developed following the processes of content and face validation. RESULTS: SEFIP-dance was applied to 30 dancers, of mean age 22.38 years (standard deviation [SD] = 3.41), among whom 14 were men (46.66%). The participants understood 100% of the SEFIP-dance items and alternatives. SEFIP-sport was applied to 30 athletes or physical exercise practitioners, of mean age 25.09 years (SD = 8.93), among whom 25 were men (86.33%). The participants understood 100% of the ­SEFIP-sport items and alternatives. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian Portuguese versions of SEFIP-dance, translated and cross-culturally adapted for dancers, and SEFIP-sport, adapted for athletes or physical exercise practitioners, were shown to have adequate levels of understanding.
