Em Portugal, a prevalência de obesidade é estimada em 13% para o sexo masculino e 15% para o sexo feminino.
Cerca de 32% de crianças portuguesas entre os 7 e os 9 anos têm excesso de peso, ou sofrem mesmo de obesidade.
Dados recentes confirmam que 1/3 das crianças portuguesas com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e os 8 anos de
idade apresentam excesso de peso, sendo 14,6% obesas.
O presente estudo refere-se à implementação de um programa de exercício físico (fitness), que visa complementar
os programas escolares existentes nas áreas da atividade física e educação física, na população infantil. O estudo
teve como objetivos: implementar o programa no Agrupamento de Escolas de Campelos, concelho de Torres
Vedras; analisar os efeitos do programa de exercício físico no padrão da atividade física, na condição física e na
composição corporal.
A amostra foi constituída por crianças do género masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 8 e os 10 anos,
alunos do Agrupamento de Escolas de Campelos, concelho de Torres Vedras, que entregaram o consentimento
informado devidamente assinado pelos encarregados de educação.
Foi caracterizado o padrão de atividade física através do questionário Quantification de l’Activite Physique en
Altitude Chez le Enfants (QAPACE). Os parâmetros de condição física foram avaliados através da bateria de testes
Fitnessgram (testes de aptidão aeróbia, aptidão muscular, força e resistência e flexibilidade). Os parâmetros de
composição corporal, foram avaliados através das medições antropométricas segundo a Internacional Society for
the Advancement of Kinanthropometry, através da percentagem de massa gorda, segundo Slaughter e seus
colaboradores (1988), e através dos percentis segundo o Centers for Disease and Prevention (2000).
Foi utilizada a análise estatística descritiva para apresentar os dados recolhidos. Para caracterizar a amostra
recorreu-se às técnicas estatísticas t-Pares e Wilcoxon para comparar os efeitos do programa, após 6 meses de
intervenção.
Os principais resultados evidenciaram diferenças significativas na condição física das crianças. Os
resultados sugerem que o programa contribuirá para melhorar a aptidão física dos meninos nas escolas.
Abstract Title: ACTIVE SCHOOL - Implementation of an exercise program for boys aged between 6 and 10 years from the municipality of Torres Vedras, Portugal. Effects on the pattern of physical activity, body composition and physical fitness. Authors: Carina Nunes dos Santos, Jil Janine Ferreira e Rita Santos Rocha. In Portugal, the prevalence of obesity is estimated at 13% for males and 15% for females. About 32% of Portuguese children aged 7 to 9 years are overweight, or obese. Recent data confirm that 1/3 of Portuguese children aged 6 to 8 years old are overweight, and 14.6% obese. This study refers to the implementation of a physical exercise program (fitness), which aims to complement existing school programs in the areas of physical activity and physical education, in children. The study aimed: to implement the program in Campelos Group of Schools, Torres Vedras; to analyze the effects of the exercise program on the pattern of physical activity, physical condition and body composition. The sample consisted of boys, aged between 8 and 10 years attending the Campelos school in the municipality of Torres Vedras, Portugal, who agreed to participate and returned the informed consent duly signed by their guardians. The pattern of physical activity was characterized by means of the questionnaire Quantification de l'Activite Physique en Altitude Chez le Enfants (QAPACE). The physical condition parameters were evaluated by means of a battery of tests Fitnessgram (aerobic fitness tests, muscular fitness, strength and endurance and flexibility). The body composition parameters were evaluated using anthropometric measurements according to the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry, by the percentage of fat mass according Slaughter and his collaborators (1988), and through the second percentile and the Centers for Disease Prevention (2000). Descriptive statistics was used to display and characterize the data collected. The t-test and Wilcoxon pair tests were performed to compare the effects of the program, after six months of intervention. The main results yielded significant differences in the physical condition of children. The results suggest that the program contribute for improving the physical fitness of this school aged boys.
