Resumo:
O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever os padrões de prática de atividade física e analisar suas variações conforme características sociodemográficas de adolescentes de um município da região nordeste do Brasil. A amostra foi de 2.350 adolescentes do município de João Pessoa (PB), Brasil. Foram determinadas as prevalências de atividade física e calculados os escores de prática (minutos/semana): geral e por tipos (esportes, exercícios, deslocamento ativo e atividades recreativas). A regressão linear foi utilizada para estimar a contribuição relativa dos tipos de prática para o escore geral de atividade física. As atividades mais praticadas foram: deslocamentos (55,2%) e esportes (52,7%). As atividades que apresentaram maior capacidade explicativa para o escore geral de prática foram: esportes (38,1%) e exercícios físicos (21,8%). A capacidade explicativa dos esportes foi elevada em todos os subgrupos, exceto no sexo feminino. A prática de exercícios físicos contribuiu para as maiores variações no escore geral nos adolescentes do sexo feminino e de escolas privadas. As atividades recreativas e o deslocamento ativo tiveram a maior contribuição para o sexo feminino. Esportes e exercícios foram as atividades que mais contribuíram para explicar as variações no escore geral de prática. Entretanto, há variações conforme as características sociodemográficas dos adolescentes.
The aim of the study was to describe the practice patterns of physical activity and analyze its variations as sociodemographic characteristics of adolescents in a city of Northeastern Brazil. The sample consisted of 2,350 adolescents in the city of João Pessoa (PB), Brazil. The prevalence of physical activity were determined and calculated the practice scores (minutes/week): general and types (sports, exercise, active commuting and recreational activities). Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the relative contribution of the types of practice for the general score of physical activity. The most practiced physical activities were active commuting (55.2%) and sports (52.7%). The activities that presented the greatest explanatory capacity for the overall score of practice were: sports (38.1%) and exercises (21.8%). The explanatory capacity of sports was increased in all subgroups, except in female patients. The practice of exercise contributes to the major changes in the general score in female adolescents and private schools. Recreational activities and active commuting had the largest contribution to the female. Sports and exercise were the activities that contributed the most to explain the changes in the general score of practice. However, there are variations according to the sociodemographic characteristics of adolescents.
