ABSTRACT
Abstract Adolescence is conducive to implementing interventions that encourage healthy lifestyles, especially when there is involvement with sports. The aim of this study was to compare physical activity, physical fitness and quality of life perception of adolescents who practice and do not practice after-school sports. The sample consisted of 374 adolescents, 198 boys and 176 girls, with mean age of 16.35 ± 0.65 and 16.19 ± 0.67 years. The QAFA questionnaire was used to evaluate the level of physical activity and the Fitnessgram was used to evaluate physical fitness. The KIDSCREEN-52 was used to evaluate quality of life perception. One-way ANOVA was conducted for comparisons (p>0.05). Boys and girls who did not practice sports presented lower levels of physical activity and physical fitness compared to those engaged in after-school sports and other type of regular physical exercise (p<0,01). Boys and girls engaged in after-school sports also presented higher scores for quality of life perception (p ≤ 0.01). Adolescents engaged in afterschool sports showed higher levels of physical activity and better quality of life perception. Physical fitness components were better for adolescents engaged in after-school sports and for those engaged in other physical exercise modalities.
RESUMO
Resumo A adolescência é favorável para implementar intervenções que incentivem estilos de vida saudável, especialmente se for relacionada ao esporte. Objetivou-se comparar o nível de atividade física, aptidão física e a percepção de qualidade de vida dos adolescentes que praticam e não praticam esporte no contraturno escolar. A amostra foi composta por 374 adolescentes, 198 meninos e 176 meninas, com média de idade de 16,35 ± 0,65 e 16,19 ± 0,67 anos. O questionário QAFA foi utilizado para avaliar o nível de atividade física e o Fitnessgram para a aptidão física. O KIDSCREEN-52 foi utilizado para avaliar a percepção da qualidade de vida. A Anova one-way foi realizado para as comparações (p> 0,05). Adolescentes do sexo masculino e feminino não praticantes apresentaram menores níveis de atividade física e aptidão física quando comparados aos praticantes de programas esportivos e outros tipos de exercícios físicos regulares (p <0,01). Meninos e meninas praticantes de esportes no contraturno apresentaram maiores escores para percepção de qualidade de vida (p ≤ 0,01). Os praticantes de esporte no contraturno possuem maiores níveis de atividade física e melhor percepção de qualidade de vida. Quanto à aptidão física, os componentes foram melhores para os praticantes de esporte e outras para praticantes de outra modalidade de exercício físico.
