Resumen
Antecedentes: La práctica de al menos 60 minutos por
día de actividad física de intensidad moderada a vigorosa
durante los siete días de la semana mejora la condición
física de los infantes. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar
la relación entre actividad física y condición física en
niños y adolescentes.
Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal en 817 escolares
entre las edades de 8 a 17 años de la ciudad de Barranquilla.
Se aplicó la Batería Fitnessgram para medir la
condición física de los estudiantes y específicamente las
pruebas: test de Leger; Test de Flexión de brazos o Push-
Up; Test de Fuerza abdominal o Curl-Up; la prueba Trunk
Lift. Además, se midió el peso, altura y circunferencia de
cintura. Para la evaluación de la actividad física se utilizó
el cuestionario de actividad física PAC-C (niños) y PAC-A
(adolescentes).
Resultados: Los escolares inactivos recorrieron 48,8±29,7
metros, contrario a los que se categorizaron como activos,
cuyo recorrido fue 62±39,5 metros (p=0.001). En las niñas
inactivas entre 8 y 12 años el perímetro abdominal fue
59,2±7,2 cm y las activas 64±7,2 cm (p<0,05). Para las
mujeres entre 13 y 17 años, las activas alcanzan valores
de 34,7±4,8 de VO2, lo contrario, las inactivas 32,5±3,6.
En los niños inactivos entre 8 y 12 años obtuvieron un promedio
64,7±11,2 cm de perímetro abdominal, en cambio
los activos 59±11,4 cm (p<0,05).
Conclusiones: Se observa la relación entre los niveles
de actividad física y condición física de los participantes,
lo cual debe animar a las instituciones de educación a
incluir la medición permanente de la condición física de
los estudiantes.
Introductions: intensity between moderate and strong during the seven (7) days of the week, improves the physical condition of children. The main objective of this study was to determine the relation between physical activity and the physical condition in children and teenagers. Methodology: It was used a cross sectional study for 817 school students between the ages of 8 and 17 years old in the city of Barranquilla. The Fitnessgram Test was applied in order to measure the physical conditions of the students, and specifically: The Leger Test, The Push up test with arm bending; the test of abdominal Strength or Curl up test, and the Trunk lift test. Besides, a measuring of weight, height, and waist was made. For the evaluation of physical activity, a PAC-C and PAC-A questionnaire was applied (on teenagers). Results: The inactive school children ran 48,8±29,7 meters, contrary to those classified as actives, who ran 62±39,5 meters (p=0.001). The inactive girls between 8 and 12 years old had an abdominal perimeter of 59,2±7,2 cm, and the active ones had 64±7,2 cm (p<0,05). For females between 13 and 17 years old, the actives reached values of 34,7±4,8 of VO2, while the inactive had 32,5±3,6. Inactive children between 8 and 12 years old obtained an average of 64,7±11,2 cm of abdominal perimeter, while the active ones measured 59±11,4 cm (p<0,05). Conclusions: The relation between the levels of physical activity and physical conditions of the participants was observed in the study. Therefore, this type of practice of physical evaluations on students should be encouraged in all educational institutions.
