Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of routine academic physical activity level (PAL) in university students. Method: Participants were 30 students (17 girls and 13 boys) of physical education course, aged between 18 and 32 years. The PAL was accessed by the short version of International of Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) validated for Brazilian population by Matsudo et al. (2001). The participants included in this longitudinal study answered the IPAQ during every academic path (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018). For the statistical analysis was utilized the Anova-One Way for repeated measurements test with Bonferroni post-hoc. Results: The results showed significant differences between the 1st year and other schooling years. Conclusion: It is possible to conclude that the academic routine negatively impacts the PAL, especially in the last year of course (4th year).
