Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre los niveles de actividad física y la procrastinación
académica en estudiantes de fisioterapia en una universidad de BarranquillaColombia.
Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional transversal en 346
estudiantes de Fisioterapia de la Universidad Simón Bolívar. Se aplicó la escala de
Tuckman para medir la procrastinación académica; el Cuestionario Internacional de
Actividad Física IPAQ formato corto; el Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire SBQ-s
para medir el comportamiento sedentario; y el International Study of Childhood
Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment ISCOLE para medir el sueño.
Resultados: El 61,2% de los estudiantes fueron mujeres. El 31,6% mostró niveles
altos de procrastinación. Un 50,7% no cumplía con las recomendaciones de
actividad física y el 61,2% cumplía con las horas recomendadas de sueño entre
semana y el 92,5% durante el fin de semana. La procrastinación académica es un
factor asociado con mayor inactividad física (OR 2,8; IC 95%1,8-4,4; p 0,0001).
Conclusiones: En este estudio un tercio de la población tiene niveles altos y muy
altos de procrastinación académica y más de la mitad no cumplen con la actividad
física recomendada. El estudio sugiere que la procrastinación actúa como una
barrera para adoptar hábitos activos saludables y resalta la necesidad de
implementar estrategias universitarias que integren educación en salud, motivación
personal, gestión del tiempo y promoción de la actividad física, con un enfoque
accesible y adaptado a las características de esta población.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between physical activity levels and academic procrastination in physiotherapy students at a university in Barranquilla, Colombia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 346 Physiotherapy students from Universidad Simón Bolívar. The Tuckman Procrastination Scale was used to assess academic procrastination; the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to assess physical activity; the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ-s) to measure sedentary behavior; and the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE) questionnaire to evaluate sleep patterns. Results: 61,2% of the students were female. A total of 31,6% showed high or very high levels of academic procrastination. Additionally, 50,7% did not meet the recommended physical activity guidelines. Regarding sleep, 61,2% met the recommended hours during the week and 92,5% on weekends. Academic procrastination was identified as a factor associated with greater physical inactivity (OR 2,8; IC 95%1,8-4,4; p 0,0001). Conclusions: In this study, one-third of the population presented high or very high levels of academic procrastination, and more than half did not meet the recommended levels of physical activity. The findings suggest that procrastination acts as a barrier to adopting healthy active habits, highlighting the need to implement university-based strategies that integrate health education, personal motivation, time management, and physical activity promotion, with an accessible approach tailored to the characteristics of this population.
