Resumen
El sedentarismo, entendido como la falta de actividad física suficiente, se ha convertido en un factor de riesgo relevante para la salud física y mental de los jóvenes universitarios. Este trabajo de investigación analiza el impacto del sedentarismo en la salud mental de los estudiantes de la Universidad Simón Bolívar, explorando la prevalencia de hábitos sedentarios, los factores contextuales y personales que los propician, así como la relación entre la inactividad física y la aparición de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión.
La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque metodológico mixto, empleando un diseño convergente paralelo que permitió integrar simultáneamente métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos para analizar de manera integral el impacto del sedentarismo en la salud mental de los estudiantes universitarios. La muestra estuvo conformada por 98 estudiantes de la Universidad Simón Bolívar, en Barranquilla, Colombia, seleccionados mediante un muestreo probabilístico para la fase cuantitativa y un muestreo intencional para la cualitativa, lo que garantizó diversidad en términos de género, edad y programas académicos. La participación fue voluntaria y se respetaron los principios éticos de confidencialidad y consentimiento informado.
