Spanish to English: Análisis de prácticas de actividades físicas y de entretenimiento realizadas por escolares durante el período de confinamiento General field: Science Detailed field: Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Source text - Spanish La disminución de los hábitos de prácticas físicas entre adolescentes se ha convertido en un problema de salud mundial. Desde el punto de vista educativo, y atendiendo a los designios de sus respectivas leyes, la prevención del sedentarismo es de vital importancia por sus repercusiones tanto a nivel económico, social como para la salud en general. Por tanto, en este estudio se describen las características y el tiempo dedicado por escolares adolescentes a actividades físicas y de entretenimiento, durante el período de confinamiento por la epidemia del Covid-19. Para ello, se utilizó el cuestionario MLTPAQ de manera telemática a una muestra representativa de 4070 escolares (M=15.01; DT=3.53 años). Los resultados apuntan a que en el período de confinamiento, el 83.13% de la muestra no cumplieron las recomendaciones respecto a actividades físicas, el 63.64% la del tiempo dedicado a pantallas, y el 37% las horas de sueño. Asimismo, a medida que aumentaba la edad disminuían las horas de práctica física y por ende el incumplimiento de las recomendaciones de los organismos pertinentes. Resultando destacable que el tiempo destinado a ocio pasivo (ver televisión, uso de videojuegos y móviles) durante el confinamiento ascendió a M=3.55; y, DT=2.75 horas al día. Se concluye que el tiempo de actividad física es insuficiente según los parámetros establecidos, reduciéndose su práctica a medida que aumenta la edad. Del mismo modo, el uso de pantallas adquiere gran predominancia en la ocupación del tiempo libre de los adolescentes, por lo que surge la necesidad de plantear futuras intervenciones para mitigar los elevados niveles de sedentarismo y sus posibles secuelas.
Translation - English The decrease in physical activity among adolescents has become a global health problem. From the educational point of view, and following the designs of its respective laws, preventing sedentarism is of uttermost importance to avoid repercussions on economic and social levels, as well as on general health. Therefore, this study describes the characteristics and time dedicated to physical and leisure activities by adolescent students during the lockdown period, caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. The MLTPAQ was used telematically on a representative sample of 4070 students (M=15.01; DT=3.53 years) to serve this purpose. The results show that during lockdown 83.13% of the sample did not follow the recommendations regarding physical activity, 63.64% did not keep to those related to screen time, and 37% did not respect those regarding sleeping time. Likewise, as age increased there was a decrease in the amount of time dedicated to physical activity and thus failure to comply with the recommendations of the relevant institutions. It is worth mentioning that the time allotted to passive leisure (watching television, use of video games and mobile phones) during lockdown rose to M=3.55; and DT=2.75 hours per day. It is concluded that the time dedicated to physical activity is insufficient according to the established parameters, and it decreases as age increases. Likewise, the use of screens acquires great predominance in the employment of adolescents’ free time, causing the surge of the need to consider future interventions to mitigate the increasing levels of sedentarism and its possible consequences.
