Association between gender, education network and scholar shifts with intensity levels of childrens daily activities measured by accelerometry

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze childrens physical activities (PA) in relation to PA recomendations (PAR) and influences of gender, educational network and scholar shifts. Were assessed 101 scholars from both private and public school systems, morning and afternoon shifts. The data was collected by accelerometers during 3 days. The Student t test was applied for comparisions between gender, educational network and scholar shifts (p < 0,05). The time attending the PAR in minutes per day were: Gender: male =171.01 ± 43.35 and female =198.85 ± 53.47; educational network: public = 198.93 ± 48.85 and private = 157.32 ± 40.34; scholar shift: morning =198.76 ± 47.64 and afternoon = 167.68 ± 47.75. The female gender, public school and morning shifts presenteed higher levels of PA.
