O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as características antropométricas, nomeadamente a estatura, a massa corporal, o índice de massa corporal (IMC), a massa gorda, a massa muscular e o perímetro abdominal, das crianças e adolescentes das escolas da ilha do Pico nos Açores. De forma adicional, com o presente estudo pretendemos verificar o nível de atividade física diária desta amostra. Assim, pretendemos caracterizar as crianças e jovens das escolas da ilha do Pico, no que se refere a estas idades, compara ndo diferentes faixas etárias e sexo e, desta forma, contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de melhoria das práticas de exercício físico e saúde publica ao nível regional e/ou nacional. No presente estudo participaram 658 indivíduos, com idades c ompreendidas entre os 10 e os 18 anos (13.64 ±0.09 anos, 1.61 ± 0.04 m de altura, 58.47 ± 0.63 kg de massa corporal) pertencentes às escolas básicas e secundárias da ilha do Pico teve uma duração total de 5 meses, durante os quais foram Açores. O estudo aplicados os questionários com o objetivo de perceber os hábitos de atividade física, avaliadas características antropométricas e monitorizar através de uma aplicação móvel (Google fit®), os passos e distâncias diárias percorridas. Os adolescentes apresent aram maiores valores de estatura, massa corporal, perímetro abdominal, massa gorda, massa muscular e metabolismo basal. Nas crianças, a massa gorda foi significativamente superior no sexo feminino, contrariamente à massa muscular e ao metabolismo basal que demonstraram ser inferiores do que no sexo masculino. No que se refere aos adolescentes, os participantes do sexo feminino demonstraram menores valores na maioria das variáveis, com exceção da massa gorda. Verificouse que nas crianças, o valor de sobrepe so e obesidade ronda os 18% enquanto que nos adolescentes ronda os 25% da amostra estudada. Da amostra analisada, foram percorridos 270.53 ± 30.00 km, num total de 426883.54 ± 23241.61 passos, em 94.25 ± 2.42 dias de monitorização, perfazendo uma média de 2.88 ± 0.33 km por dia, 4416.18 ± 217.23 passos por dia, com um dispêndio médio de 1779.24 ± 66.34 Kcal por dia. A realçar que a maior percentagem dos inquiridos demonstrou realizar atividades vigorosas 2 vezes por semana ou nenhuma, sendo que 83.7% dos pa rticipantes ficam sentados mais de 50 min por dia. Apesar das medidas antropométricas se encontraram no espectro normal, os níveis de atividade física demonstraram ser abaixo do que é recomendado.
The present study was to verify the antropometric characteristics from the young student population at Pico Island, Azores, namely, the body mass, the body mass index (BMI), the objective fat mass, the muscula r mass and the abdominal limits. Additionally, the present study intends to verify the level of daily physical activity of this specific population. Thus, it is our objective to characterize children and young people from schools at Pico, with regard to th ese ages, comparing different age groups and gender and, contributing to the development of strategies for physical exercise practices and public health at the regional and/or national level. In this study the sample was 658 students, from elementary and h igh schools at Pico, with ages between old (13.64 ±0.09 years, 1.61 ± 0.04 m of height, 58.47 ± 0.63 10 and 18 years kg of body mass). The study lasted 5 months, objective of during the each questionaires were given to the students with the understanding the physical activities practices and habits, evaluate the antropometrics characteristics and to monitor, through a mobile app (Google fit®), the daily steps and distances achieved. Adolescents had higher values abdomi of height, body mass, nal perimeters, fat mass, muscle mass and basal metabolism. With younger children, the fat mass was significantly higher in females, contrary to muscle and basal metabolismo, who proved to be lower than in males. It was found that in children, the value of overweight and obesity is 18%, and around 25% on the adolescentes age, within the given sample. From the sample used, 270.53 ± 30.00 km were covered, in a total of 426883.54 ± 23241.61 steps, in 94.25 ± 2.42 days of monitoring, making an average of 2.88 ± 0.33 km per day, 4416.18 ± 217.23 steps per day, with an average expenditure of 1779.24 ± 66.34 Kcal per day. It was noticed that a high percentage of the students performed 2 or less vigorous physical activities per week, as well as 83.7% of the particip ants stay over than 50 min/day seated, with no physical activity. Although anthropometric measurements were found on the average spectrum, physical activity levels are considered below normal and recomended standards.
