Abstract

This study is part of the Scientific Practice discipline of the Physical Education - Bachelor's degree course, at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), and is part of the Course Completion Work. The objective was to analyze the physical activity levels of university mothers, according to sociodemographic data. The study is cross-sectional and analytical and was carried out in Campo Grande – MS, between September and November 2024. Data were collected remotely, through electronic forms published on social networks and via referral. 31 university mothers who met the inclusion criteria participated. The short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess physical activity levels. From the data obtained, it was possible to see that the majority of participants do not comply with the recommendations for moderate and vigorous physical activity. Therefore, university mothers are a risk group for not achieving physical activity levels for health benefits.
