Abstract

Low levels of physical activity and physical fitness are risk factors of obesity and cardiovascular disease from childhood to adulthood. According to several studies, inactivity increases with the age of the school students. In Spain, according to results of the 2018 Report, only 34% of boys and 27% of girls aged 3 to 14 are active. This study aimed to compare differences between genders in body composition and PA; to analyse the relationship between the variables studied. Methods: This study used a non-experimental research design. PAQ-C questionnaire and ALPHA-Fitness tests were used. Descriptive analysis, correlation and linear regression gave the following results: boys had better scores in PA, and worse in BF percentage. PA in boys is related to aerobic capacity (r = 0.426, p < .01), BMI and BF (r = -0.368, and -0.323, p < .01 respectively). BF variability in boys (R 2 = 0.35) is determined by aerobic capacity (t = -4.161; p < .01) and lower-body explosive strength (t = -3.832; p < .01). Findings show an association between PA and the elements of PF studied, and an explanatory model of body fat based on aerobic capacity and lower-body explosive strength in boys.

儿童体育活动与身体健康及其与体脂的关系

身体活动和体能水平低是儿童期至成年期肥胖和心血管疾病的危险因素。根据几项研究，不活动随着学生年龄的增长而增加。根据2018年报告的结果，在西班牙，只有34%的3至14岁男孩和27%的女孩参加运动。本研究旨在比较身体成分和PA的性别差异;分析所研究变量之间的关系。方法:采用非实验研究设计。采用PAQ-C问卷和ALPHA-Fitness检验。描述性分析、相关分析和线性回归分析结果表明:男孩在PA方面得分较高，而在BF百分比方面得分较低。男孩PA与有氧能力(r = 0.426, p < 0.01)、BMI和BF (r = -0.368， -0.323, p < 0.01)相关。男孩的BF变异性(r2 = 0.35)由有氧能力决定(t = -4.161;P < 0.01)和下体爆炸强度(t = -3.832;P < 0.01)。研究结果表明，PA和PF元素之间存在关联，并解释了基于男孩有氧能力和下体爆发力的体脂模型。
