Abstract(s)
O presente estudo pretende analisar o nível de atividade física nos alunos do ensino superior alojados na residência para estudantes. Foi aplicado o International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), versão curta, que é composto por oito questões caracterizadoras dos níveis de atividade física. A amostra foi constituída por jovens estudantes do ensino superior, alojados na residência de estudantes do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal. Foram inquiridos 90 indivíduos, sendo 44 mulheres e 46 homens. Os resultados obtidos verificam que 47% dos indivíduos são considerados sedentários, ou insuficientemente ativos e 53% dos indivíduos são ativos. Podemos concluir que uma grande percentagem dos alunos é sedentária ou pouco ativa e que é necessário implementar medidas e programas de saúde para que os estudantes adquiram hábitos de vida saudável, através da prática de atividade física, contribuindo para a melhoria a qualidade de vida e para a prevenção de doenças ligadas à inatividade física.
The present study aims to analyze the level of physical activity in students of higher education housed in the residence for students. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version, was composed of eight questions characterizing physical activity levels. The sample consisted of young students of higher education, housed in the student residence of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal. Ninety individuals were interviewed, 44 women and 46 men. The results show that 47% of the individuals are considered to be sedentary, or insufficiently active and 53% of the individuals are active. We can conclude that a large percentage of the students are sedentary or not very active and that it is necessary to implement health measures and programs so that students acquire healthy habits through the practice of physical activity, contributing to the improvement of the quality of life and for the prevention of diseases linked to physical inactivity.
