          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Aim: evaluate physical activity (PA), physical fitness (PF) and motor competence (MC) relative weight status among Cabo Verde youth. Height and weight were measured in 343 boys and girls 12-14 years. PF tests included grip strength, push-ups, curl-ups, sit-and-reach, one-mile-run/walk. KTK tests were the indicator of MC. PA was estimated with pedometers. ANCOVA was used. PA and MC did not vary consistently with weight status. Cardiorespiratory fitness and grip strength per unit mass of thin girls was significantly better than normal weight and overweight/obese girls. Underweight boys performed significantly better in grip strength per unit mass than normal and overweight/obese boys. In conclusions, differences among youth by weight status were not apparent except for the one-mile run in girls and grip strength per unit body mass in both sexes. MC differed by weight status only among girls.

          RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a atividade física (AF), aptidão física (ApF) e competência motora (CM) em jovens cabo-verdianos de acordo com o estatuto ponderal. Altura, peso, ApP (força de preensão, flexões de braços, elevações do tronco, sentar-alcançar, correr/caminhar uma milha), CM (bateria KTK) e AF (pedómetros) foram medidos em 343 meninos e meninas de 12-14 anos. ANCOVA foi usada. A AF e CM não variaram com o estatuto ponderal. Aptidão cardiorrespiratória e força de preensão de meninas magras foram melhores do que a das meninas com peso normal e com sobrepeso/obesidade. Rapazes com baixo peso tiveram desempenho melhor na força de preensão do que rapazes normais e com sobrepeso/obesidade. Conclusão, as diferenças entre os jovens por estatuto ponderal não foram evidentes, exceto para a corrida de uma milha em meninas e força de preensão por unidade de massa corporal em ambos os sexos. MC diferiu por estatuto ponderal apenas entre as meninas.

          RESUMEN El objetivo: evaluar la actividad física (AF), aptitud física (ApF) y competencia motora (CM) entre jóvenes caboverdianos en relación con el estado de peso. La altura, peso, ApF (fuerza de prensión, flexiones de brazos, abdominales, sentarse-alcanzar, una milla de carrera/caminata), CM (KTK) y AF (podómetros) se midieron en 343 niños y niñas de 12-14 años. Se utilizó ANCOVA. AF y CM no variaron consistentemente con el estado de peso. La aptitud cardiorrespiratoria y la fuerza de prensión de las niñas delgadas fueron significativamente mejores que las de peso normal y con sobrepeso/obesidad. Los niños con bajo peso se desempeñaron significativamente mejor que los niños normales y con sobrepeso/obesidad. En conclusión, las diferencias entre los jóvenes por estado de peso no fueron evidentes, excepto en la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria en las niñas y la fuerza de prensión en ambos sexos. CM se diferenciaba por el estado de peso solo entre las niñas.

          Global trends in insufficient physical activity among adolescents: a pooled analysis of 298 population-based surveys with 1·6 million participants

          Summary Background Physical activity has many health benefits for young people. In 2018, WHO launched More Active People for a Healthier World, a new global action on physical activity, including new targets of a 15% relative reduction of global prevalence of insufficient physical activity by 2030 among adolescents and adults. We describe current prevalence and trends of insufficient physical activity among school-going adolescents aged 11–17 years by country, region, and globally. Methods We did a pooled analysis of cross-sectional survey data that were collected through random sampling with a sample size of at least 100 individuals, were representative of a national or defined subnational population, and reported prevalence of of insufficient physical activity by sex in adolescents. Prevalence had to be reported for at least three of the years of age within the 10–19-year age range. We estimated the prevalence of insufficient physical activity in school-going adolescents aged 11–17 years (combined and by sex) for individual countries, for four World Bank income groups, nine regions, and globally for the years 2001–16. To derive a standard definition of insufficient physical activity and to adjust for urban-only survey coverage, we used regression models. We estimated time trends using multilevel mixed-effects modelling. Findings We used data from 298 school-based surveys from 146 countries, territories, and areas including 1·6 million students aged 11–17 years. Globally, in 2016, 81·0% (95% uncertainty interval 77·8–87·7) of students aged 11–17 years were insufficiently physically active (77·6% [76·1–80·4] of boys and 84·7% [83·0–88·2] of girls). Although prevalence of insufficient physical activity significantly decreased between 2001 and 2016 for boys (from 80·1% [78·3–81·6] in 2001), there was no significant change for girls (from 85·1% [83·1–88·0] in 2001). There was no clear pattern according to country income group: insufficient activity prevalence in 2016 was 84·9% (82·6–88·2) in low-income countries, 79·3% (77·2–87·5) in lower–middle-income countries, 83·9% (79·5–89·2) in upper–middle-income countries, and 79·4% (74·0–86·2) in high-income countries. The region with the highest prevalence of insufficient activity in 2016 was high-income Asia Pacific for both boys (89·0%, 62·8–92·2) and girls (95·6%, 73·7–97·9). The regions with the lowest prevalence were high-income western countries for boys (72·1%, 71·1–73·6), and south Asia for girls (77·5%, 72·8–89·3). In 2016, 27 countries had a prevalence of insufficient activity of 90% or more for girls, whereas this was the case for two countries for boys. Interpretation The majority of adolescents do not meet current physical activity guidelines. Urgent scaling up of implementation of known effective policies and programmes is needed to increase activity in adolescents. Investment and leadership at all levels to intervene on the multiple causes and inequities that might perpetuate the low participation in physical activity and sex differences, as well as engagement of youth themselves, will be vital to strengthen the opportunities for physical activity in all communities. Such action will improve the health of this and future young generations and support achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Funding WHO.
