Abstract
Objetivou-se analisar os fatores associados ao nível de participação em atividades físicas (NPAF) em estudantes de uma universidade pública no Sul do Brasil. Para a avaliação do NPAF, foi utilizado o questionário da Associação Canadense de Fisiologia do Exercício. O NPAF foi classificado em adequado e inadequado. O estado nutricional foi verificado por meio do IMC, classificado em normal (< 25 kg/m²) e excesso de peso (> 25 kg/m²). As variáveis sociodemográficas foram: sexo, idade, trabalho, escolaridade da mãe, turno de estudo e estado civil. A regressão Poisson foi usada para examinar as associações entre o desfecho e variáveis independentes, considerando p < 0,05. A amostra representativa foi de 738 universitários (59,2% do sexo masculino). A prevalência inadequada de participação em atividades físicas foi de 30,8%. Os resultados na análise ajustada indicaram que universitários do sexo feminino (RP=2,79; IC95%:2,10-3,68) e com excesso de peso (RP=1,53; IC95%:1,04-2,23) apresentaram maior risco de inadequação para participação em atividades físicas. Estes achados são úteis para o desenvolvimento de programas de promoção da saúde, na universidade, com atenção especial aos calouros do sexo feminino e com excesso de peso.
The scope of this study was to analyze the factors associated with the degree of participation in physical activities (DPPA) among students of a public university in the south of Brazil. The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Questionnaire was used for the evaluation of DPPA. DPPA was classified as adequate and inadequate. Nutritional status was evaluated based on BMI, classified as normal (< 25 kg/m²) and overweight (> 25 kg/m²). The following socio-demographic variables were analyzed: gender, age group, work, maternal educational level, class period, and marital status. Poisson regression was used to examine the association between DPPA and independent variables, considering p < 0.05. The sample, which was representative of the institution, consisted of 738 students (59.2% males). The prevalence of inadequate physical activity participation was 30.8%. Adjusted analysis showed that female (PR=2.79; 95%CI: 2.10-3.68) and overweight students (PR=1.53; 95%CI: 1.04-2.23) presented a higher risk of inadequate physical activity participation. These findings might be useful for the implementation of health promotion programs in universities, which should pay special attention to female and overweight students in their freshman year.
