0132/2019 - Levels, factors and interventions of preschool children physical activity: A systematic review. Níveis, fatores e intervenções da atividade física em idade pré-escolar: Uma revisão sistemática.
Os baixos níveis de atividade física e elevados níveis de comportamento sedentário podem prejudicar a saúde e o desenvolvimento de crianças em idade pré-escolar. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre níveis de atividade física (AF), formas de intervenção e fatores associados a essa prática em pré-escolares. Foram considerados os estudos publicados na última década, as bases de dados consultadas foram: PubMed e SPORTDiscus. As palavras chave identificaram 177 artigos, dos quais 41 preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Foram analisados os objetivos, as metodologias e os resultados de cada artigo selecionado. As pesquisas utilizaram diferentes frequências e tipos de intervenções em atividade física. Em geral, o problema do baixo nível de AF em pré-escolares tem aumentado. O envolvimento e a participação dos pais e professores, cartilhas de orientação, outras fontes de informação, instrução aos pais e professores e disponibilidade de atividades extracurriculares foram considerados como fatores positivos que provocam a elevação dos níveis de AF nas crianças, por outro lado, a obesidade dos pais foi um fator negativo.

Abstract:
Low levels of physical activity and high amounts of sedentary behaviour can jeopardise the health and development of preschool children. The goal of this study was to complete a systematic review of research on the occurrence the levels of physical activity (PA), forms of intervention and factors associated with this practice among preschool children. Studies published in the period between 2006 and 2016 were investigated, using the PubMed and SPORTDiscus databases. The search terms identified 177 articles, of which 41 met the inclusion criteria. Goals, methodologies and results were analysed. The studies used various cut-off points to establish the desired level of PA, along with different types of interventions. Overall, the problem of low level of PA among preschool children appears to be increasing. Involvement and participation of parents and teachers, guidancebooklets and other information sources, parent instruction and availability of extracurricular activities were considered positive factors that tended to increase children’s PA levels, as parental obesity was a negative factor. New studies to define sedentary behaviour in preschool children are required to clarify the nature of this problem, along with the establishment of prevention programmes with ecological design aimed at schools, families and other sectors of society.
