Habits of physical activity and related factors in teenagers
Abstract
The relationship between the practice of physical activity and eating habits in adolescents allow to establish healthy life patterns that improve health in adulthood.
This study describes the physical activity habits of a group of adolescents divided by age, to whom a questionnaire of 19 questions was applied to determine the intensity, frequency and type of physical activity, evaluate the sedentary life levels, and assess the food pattern.
There are significant differences in the frequency and intensity of physical exercise, boys perform a vigorous-energetic exercise, while girls carry out moderate exercise.
During free time, a small group of boys perform sports and the girls take a walk, however, most prefer to use their mobile.
A significant proportion of adolescents do not have breakfast in the morning, mainly girls. There are differences in the eating pattern in the consumption of meat, fruit, cookies or buns.
Although most adolescents practice physical activity, they are not active enough and, with age, habits worsen, so they must be aware of maintaining a daily practice, reducing hours with their mobile phones and improving their eating habits.
