ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to verify the effect of an interven-tion program during Physical Education (PE) classes on levels of physical fitness related to health in youth. This is a pre-ex-perimental study. The students (40 boys and 48 girls) were conveniently selected from a private school in Southern Brazil. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed through the six-minute test, recorded in meters (m), flexibility through the sit-and-reach test, recorded in centimeters (cm), abdominal strength/resistance through repetitions in one minute (rep) and body mass index (BMI) through the [mass/height²] equation. The intervention program was conducted in PE classes, often twice a week, during an entire school year. Data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis, Student's t-test and repeated meas-ures ANOVA, taking into consideration p<0.05. The PE pro-gram promoted improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness for boys (pre-test 1123.0m±197.0m; post-test 1247.2m±139.6m; p=0.002) and girls (pre-test 940.7m±75.0m; post-test 1028.7m±67.3m; p=0.001); abdominal strength/resistance for boys (pre-test 46.1 rep±10.1 rep; post-test 53.9 rep±10.4 rep; p=0.001) and girls (pre-test 36.4 rep ± 8.3 rep; post-test 44.0 rep±6.1 rep; p=0.001); and flexibility for boys (pre-test22.7cm ± 8.1cm; post-test 27.6cm ±7.2cm; p=0.006) and girls (pre-test 32.0cm±6.2cm; post-test 34.8cm ± 6.4cm; p=0.032). There wer-en't changes in mean BMI values. Therefore, it's considered that the PE program aimed at health promotion through physical fitness can improve the indicators of cardiometabolic and muscle-skeletal health in students.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito de um programa de in-tervenção nas aulas de Educação Física Escolar sobre os níveis de aptidão física relacionada à saúde de jovens. Trata-se de um estudo pré-experimental. Os estudantes (40 meninos e 48 meninas) fo-ram selecionados por conveniência em uma escola privada do sul do Brasil. Foram avaliados a aptidão cardiorrespiratória através do teste de seis minutos, anotado em metros (m), flexibilidade através do teste de sentar e alcançar, anotado em centímetros (cm), força/resistência abdominal através de repetições em um minuto (rep) e índice de massa corporal (IMC) através da equação massa/estatu-ra². O programa de intervenção foi realizado nas aulas de Educa-ção Física, com frequência de duas vezes semanais, durante um ano letivo. Para análise dos dados recorreu-se a análise descritiva, teste t de Student e ANOVA de medidas repetidas, levando em conside-ração um p < 0,05. O programa de Educação Física Escolar pro-moveu melhoria da aptidão cardiorrespiratória dos meninos (pré 1123,0m±197,0m; pós 1247,2m±139,6m; p 0,002) e meninas (pré 940,7m±75,0m - pós 1028,7m±67,3m; p 0,001), força/re-sistência abdominal dos meninos (pré 46,1 rep±10,1 rep - pós 53,9 rep±10,5 rep; p 0,001) e meninas (pré 364 rep±8,3 rep - pós 44,0 rep±6,1 rep; p 0,001) e flexibilidade dos meninos (pré 22,7cm±8,-1cm - pós 27,6cm±7,2cm; p 0,006) e meninas (pré 32,0cm±6,-2cm - pós 34,8cm±6,4cm; p 0,032). Não houveram variações nos valores médios do IMC. Portanto, considera-se que o programa de educação física escolar direcionado à promoção da saúde, através da aptidão física pode melhorar os indicadores de saúde cardiometabó-lica e musculoesquelética em estudantes.
