Correlates of Sports Practice, Occupational and Leisure-Time Physical Activity in Brazilian Adolescents

---

Objectives: To analyze the relationship between different physical activity (PA) domains and sociodemographic, psychological,behavioral and biological factors in Brazilian adolescents.
Methods: 1,220 adolescents (55.1% female) aged between 10 and 16 years-old participated in this study. The Baecke
questionnaire was used to evaluate different PA domains, namely occupational, sports and leisure-time. Socioeconomic
status, number of siblings, friendships satisfaction, mother’s and father’s PA level and previous experience with sports were self-reported. Cardiorespiratory fitness, waist circumference, and somatic maturity were estimated by objective indicators. Linear regression was used for the main statistical analysis.
Results: The variables consistently related to all of the PA domains were gender (boys more active), friendship satisfaction (positive with sports and leisure-time PA and negative with occupational PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (positive). There were also domain-specific relationships for occupational (number of siblings [b50.02] and father’s PA
[b50.13]), sport practice (previous experience with sports [b50.33], waist circumference [b50.01] and somatic maturity
[b520.12]) and leisure-time PA (chronological age [b520.15], mother’s PA [b50.47] and previous experience
with sports [b50.17]).
Conclusions: The different domains of PA are related to specific variables in adolescence. This information may be
helpful in formulating strategies for physical activity promotion, particularly in adolescents from low-to-middle income
countries.
