Abstract

BACKGROUND: insufficient levels of physical activity (PA) of the parents can increase the chance of their children becoming insufficiently active.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the association the practice of physical activity among adolescents and their parents.
METHODS: A total of 140 students of both sexes, between 11 and 17 years were intentionally selected. The physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. To calculate the body mass index, the ratio of body mass by the square of height was used, and to estimate body composition the thickness of triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness. Data normality was not confirmed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Data were expressed as median and interquartile range. For comparison between groups, proportions and correlation tests were used: U Mann-Whitney, chi-square, and Spearman respectively. In all analyzes were considered a significance of 5% (p<0.05).
RESULTS: The prevalence of physical activity was higher in males (50.0%) than females (27.1%). For the category of active parents, 88.3% of the children were also active and categorized in the category of inactive parents, 42.5% of the children were also categorized as inactive, observing an association between physical activity of parents with their children (p<0.05). The correlation between the level of physical activity between parents and children was 0.38 (p<0.001) indicating a weak correlation between these variables.
CONCLUSION: The level of physical activity of parents influenced the practice of the PA of their children, indicating the importance of the influence of family environment on the PA of children and adolescents.
