Tendência temporal da prática de atividade física no tempo livre e do comportamento sedentário da população de Campo Grande - MS

Abstract

Objective: to analyze data related to levels of physical activity in leisure time and sedentary behavior in the population of the municipality of Campo Grande, MS. Methods: data collection was carried out through a search in the editions of VIGITEL, for indicators of physical activity in leisure time and sedentary behavior in the municipality of Campo Grande. Linear regression models were used, with logarithmic transformations performed from the prevalences of physical activity in leisure time and sedentary behavior to arrive at the annual growth/decrease rates. Results: it was found that physical activity in leisure time gradually increased over time, while sedentary behavior remained stable. Despite the observed trends, there were times when both indicators had significant fluctuations, expressed in annual increases or decreases. Conclusions: the methodology adopted by VIGITEL in each edition had a great impact on the prevalences of physical activity in leisure time and sedentary behavior. The COVID-19 pandemic also had implications for the results, although considerably less so when compared to research methods.
