Joint Association between Sedentary Time and Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity with Obesity Risk in Adults from Latin America
Recent studies have shown various relationships between physical activity and the incidence of obesity, but this study critically explored the association of sedentary time (ST) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with obesity risk in adults from eight Latin American countries. ST and MVPA were assessed with accelerometers and stratified into 16 joint categories. Multivariate logistic regression models were used. The obesity risk in…
Associação entre o consumo de café da manhã com a recomendação de atividade física e o estado nutricional em crianças
O objetivo deste artigo é associar o consumo do café da manhã (CM) com atividade física de moderada à vigorosa (AFMV) e estado nutricional de crianças entre 9 e 11 anos. A amostra foi composta por 432 crianças de São Caetano do Sul participantes do International Study of Childhood Obesity Lifestyle and the Environment. Os dados foram coletados entre 2012-2013. O consumo do CM semanal foi obtido pelo método autorreferido. Para mensuração da AFMV, …
Relação Do Padrão De Marcha Associada Com a Aptidão Física E a Capacidade Funcional De Residentes De Instituições De Longa Permanência
Introdução: A locomoção do ser humano precisa da interação músculo-esquelética e neurológica para prover as demandas da idade, quando apresentadas alterações pode levar a problemas importantes de mobilidade e capacidade funcional de idosos institucionalizados. Objetivo: Verificar e analisar a associação da marcha, capacidade funcional e aptidão física em idosos institucionalizados. Métodos: foram avaliados 52 mulheres e 17 homens (66,6-85,4 anos)…
Accelerometer-determined peak cadence and weight status in children from São Caetano do Sul, Brazil
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peak cadence indicators and body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%)-defined weight status in children. The sample comprised 485 Brazilian children. Minute-by-minute step data from accelerometry were rank ordered for each day to identify the peak 1-minute, 30-minute and 60-minute cadence values. Data were described by BMI–defined and bioelectrical impedance-determined …
Overweight, obesity, steps, and moderate to vigorous physical activity in children
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to establish cutoff points for the number of steps/day and minutes/day of moderate to vigorous physical activity in relation to the risk of childhood overweight and obesity and their respective associations. In addition, we aim to identify the amount of steps/day needed to achieve the recommendation of moderate to vigorous physical activity in children from São Caetano do Sul. METHODS In total, 494 childre…
The prevalence of physical activity and its associated effects among students in the São Paulo public school network, Brazil
The current study evaluated physical activity (PA) level and its associated effects among students in the public network of São Paulo, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was taken using a representative sample of students in São Paulo public school system. International Physical Activity Questionnaire determined PA level. Students who reported at least 300 minutes/week of PA were considered active. The independente variables were: gender, age, body …
Physical activity in adults from two Brazilian areas
Lack of comparability has been a major limitation in studies on physical activity, due to the utilization of different methodological instruments and inconsistent cut-off points. This study aims to compare the levels of physical activity in adults from two Brazilian areas: (a) São Paulo, the richest State in the country; (b) Pelotas, a medium-sized southern Brazilian city. Both sites used cross-sectional population-based designs, with multiple-st…
The Agita São Paulo Program as a model for using physical activity to promote health
The "Agita São Paulo" Program applies a multilevel intervention approach to promoting physical activity among the 37 million inhabitants of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The verb "agita" means to move the body, but the term also suggests changing the way of thinking and becoming a more active citizen. Since being launched in 1996, the Program has been widely copied throughout Brazil and in other countries of Latin America, and the World Health …
Promotion of physical activity in a developing country
The purpose of this paper is to present key points of an intervention programme (Agita São Paulo Program) to promote physical activity in a developing country. Agita is a multi-level, community-wide intervention designed to increase knowledge about the benefits and the level of physical activity in a mega-population of 34 million inhabitants of São Paulo State, Brazil. The main message was taken from the Centers for Disease Control/American Colle…
