Resumo
Foi realizado estudo longitudinal de intervenção para verificar o efeito de um programa escolar para mudança do estilo de vida, envolvendo atividade física e educação nutricional como atenção primária à baixa aptidão física e excesso de peso em crianças. A amostra de conveniência por demanda espontânea foi composta por 53 escolares (30 meninas e 23 meninos) com idade entre seis e dez anos, regularmente matriculados no ensino fundamental (1° ao 5° ano) em uma escola particular do município de Botucatu-SP. A divulgação deu-se via agenda com posterior autorização dos pais para participação no programa. A intervenção, com duração de três meses, foi oferecida durante seis semestres, com dois encontros semanais de duas horas (uma hora com os profissionais de educação física e uma hora com os nutricionistas). As avaliações da aptidão física relacionada à saúde foram: flexibilidade (teste de sentar-e-alcançar), força/resistência abdominal (teste abdominal em 1 minuto) e resistência geral (teste correr/andar por 9 minutos). Avaliação antropométrica contou com aferição de peso, estatura, cálculo do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e circunferência abdominal (CA). Ao final de cada semestre os pais responderam um questionário a respeito das atividades realizadas pelos filhos no tempo livre. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se estatística descritiva, qui-quadrado, ANOVA e regressão logística com nível de significância de 5%. Considerando o efeito da intervenção sem distinção de sexo, houve aumento do peso corporal, porém com redução da circunferência abdominal. Flexibilidade e força/resistência abdominal melhoraram com a intervenção e a resistência geral não se alterou. Quando a amostra foi distribuída por sexo e ajustada para idade...
A longitudinal intervention study was performed in order to evaluate the effect of a school program for lifestyle change involving physical activity and nutritional education as primary care for low physical fitness and overweight in children. The convenience sample by spontaneous demand consisted of 53 six-to-ten-year-old schoolchildren (30 girls and 23 boys) regularly enrolled from first to fifth grade of a private primary school in the city of Botucatu, SP, Brazil. Information about the program was provided by a note in the schoolchildren’s agenda, with later authorization from parents for their participation. The intervention, which took three months, was offered in two semesters, with weekly two-hour meetings (one hour with physical education professionals and one hour with dietitians). The following health-related physical fitness evaluations were made: flexibility (sit-and-reach test), abdominal strength/resistance (1-minute abdominal test) and general resistance (9-minute running/walking test). Anthropometric evaluation consisted in measuring weight and height and in estimating the Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). At the end of each semester, the parents answered a questionnaire concerning the physical activities performed by their children in their free time. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, ANOVA and logistic regression with a significance level of 5% were used for data analysis. When considering the effect of the intervention without gender distinction, body weight increase was observed although with waist circumference reduction. Flexibility and abdominal strength/resistance improved with the intervention and general resistance did not change. When the sample was distributed by gender and adjusted for age and WC, the boys showed higher general resistance than the girls... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
