Resumo
A atividade física e desportiva é fundamental para o desenvolvimento equilibrado dos adolescentes, devendo os hábitos de prática serem adquiridos precocemente, para que façam parte integrante do seu estilo de vida. O estudo teve como objetivo geral caracterizar o estilo de vida dos alunos da Escola Secundária de Silves, relacionando-o com os seus conhecimentos de aptidão física e condição física. A população é composta por 89 alunos que frequentavam o 12º ano da Escola Secundária de Silves, 21 rapazes e 68 raparigas. Os resultados revelam que a maioria dos alunos apresenta uma atitude favorável face às aulas de educação física. Estudando a prática da atividade física e desportiva formal e informal, verificámos que maioritariamente os alunos não acumulam a quantidade de prática diária recomendada, considerando-se pouco ativos ou sedentários, sendo os rapazes mais ativos do que as raparigas. Verificámos grande debilidade dos conhecimentos nas questões relacionadas com as recomendações de prática, benefícios para a saúde associados a um estilo de vida ativo e perigos associados à inatividade física. Não há diferenças significativas entre os conhecimentos dos rapazes e os das raparigas. Não há diferenças significativas entre conhecimentos e estilo de vida. Há uma correlação fraca entre prática da atividade física formal e conhecimentos.
As physical activity and sport are essential to the balanced development of adolescents, the practice habits should be acquired precociously to become part of their lifestyle. The study aimed to characterize the lifestyle of students from Silves High School, relating it to their knowledge of physical fitness and physical condition. The population is composed of 89 students who attended the 12th grade, 21 boys and 68 girls. The results show that most students present a favourable attitude towards physical education lessons. By studying the practice of physical and sports activity, both formal and informal, we found that most students do not accumulate the recommended daily amount of physical practice, thus being considered as having low activity or being sedentary. However, boys are more active than girls. There is a lack of knowledge on issues related to the recommendations of physical activity, health benefits related to an active lifestyle and dangers related to physical inactivity. There are no significant differences between the acquired knowledge of boys and girls. In fact, there are no significant differences between knowledge and lifestyle. The relationship between formal physical activity and knowledge is not significant.
