          Abstract

          Según la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (2010), México ocupa el primer lugar mundial en sobrepeso y el segundo en obesidad. El Programa Nacional de Cultura Física y Deporte (2008) busca elevar a treinta y cinco millones el número de habitantes físicamente activos en el país para 2012. El objetivo del presente estudio es la detección y dimensionamiento de los factores que inciden en la realización de actividad física (AF) entre los residentes de México. Utilizando datos de la Encuesta Nacional Sobre Uso del Tiempo (2009), se estimaron dos modelos econométricos.

          Translated abstract

          According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (2010), Mexico holds the first place worldwide in overweight and second in obesity. The Programa Nacional de Cultura Física y Deporte (2008) seek to raise the number of the country's physically active habitants to 35 million by 2012. The objective of this study is to determine the factors, and their dimension, that influence the decision of practicing physical activity among the residents of Mexico. Using data by the Encuesta Nacional Sobre Uso del Tiempo (2009) , two econometric models were estimated.

            Physical activity and determinants of physical activity in obese and non-obese children.

            To compare the physical activity (PA) patterns and the hypothesized psychosocial and environmental determinants of PA in an ethnically diverse sample of obese and non-obese middle school children. Cross-sectional study. One-hundred and thirty-three non-obese and 54 obese sixth grade children (mean age of 11.4+/-0.6). Obesity status determined using the age-, race- and gender-specific 95th percentile for BMI from NHANES-1. Objective measurements were collected of PA over a 7-day period using the CSA 7164 accelerometer: total daily counts; daily moderate (3-5.9 METs) physical activity (MPA); daily vigorous physical activity (> or =6 METs; VPA); and weekly number of 5, 10 and 20 min bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (> or =3 METs, MVPA). Self-report measures were collected of PA self-efficacy; social influences regarding PA, beliefs about PA outcomes; perceived PA levels of parents and peers, access to sporting and/or fitness equipment at home, involvement in community-based PA organizations; participation in community sports teams; and hours spent watching television or playing video games. Compared to their non-obese counterparts, obese children exhibited significantly lower daily accumulations of total counts, MPA and VPA as well as significantly fewer 5, 10 and 20 min bouts of MVPA. Obese children reported significantly lower levels of PA self-efficacy, were involved in significantly fewer community organizations promoting PA and were significantly less likely to report their father or male guardian as physically active. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that physical inactivity is an important contributing factor in the maintenance of childhood obesity. Interventions to promote PA in obese children should endeavor to boost self-efficacy perceptions regarding exercise, increase awareness of, and access to, community PA outlets, and increase parental modeling of PA.
