Resumen
Introducción
En Colombia desde el 24 de marzo hasta el 31 de agosto de 2020 los niños y
adolescentes estuvieron 162 días en total aislamiento preventivo obligatorio por la
pandemia del Covid 19. Conocer y evaluar el comportamiento de ellos durante este
período de confinamiento fue importante para saber las consecuencias sobre la
actividad física y el aumento peso. Métodos
Se elaboró una encuesta virtual abierta realizada en la plataforma de encuestas de
Google, dirigida a los padres con 5 preguntas: 1. Edad de su hijo: 2. ¿Cuántos
minutos por día de actividad física en casa realiza? 3. ¿Cuántos minutos de
pantallas (TV, computador, celular, videojuegos, etc.) por día? 4 ¿Cuántas horas
duerme en la noche? 5. ¿El peso corporal de su hijo(a) se ha elevado? ¿Cuánto?
Se distribuyó en las bases de datos de la Asociación de Medicina del Deporte y de
la Fundación Colombiana del Corazón a través de las redes sociales como
WhatsApp y correos electrónicos. Resultados
Se realizaron 1.139 encuestas virtuales . Se encontró que durante el período de
aislamiento obligatorio: el 75.2% de los niños no realizó los minutos recomendados
de actividad física por la Organización Mundial de la salud (OMS), que el 82.8 %
superó el tiempo de 60 minutos frente a dispositivos electrónicos y que el 44 % se
aumentó de peso. Conclusiones
En los períodos de confinamiento es importante el diseño de estrategias y procesos
educativos que promuevan en los niños estilos de vida que se puedan conservar a
futuro en el adulto.
Introduction In Colombia from March 24 to August 31, 2020, children and adolescents spent 162 days in total mandatory preventive isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Knowing and evaluating their behavior during this period of confinement was important to know the consequences on the physical activity and weight gain. Methods An open virtual survey was developed on the Google survey platform, addressed to parents with 5 questions: 1. The age of your child: 2.

Has your child's body weight increased? How much?. It was distributed in the databases of the Association of Sports Medicine and the Colombian Heart Foundation through social networks such as WhatsApp and emails. Results 1,139 virtual surveys were conducted. It was found that during the mandatory isolation period: 75.2% of the children did not perform the minutes of physical activity recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), that 82.8% exceeded the time of 60 minutes versus to electronic devices and that 44% weight gained. Conclusions In periods of confinement, it is important to design educational strategies and processes that promote healthy lifestyles in children that can be preserved in the future in adults.
