Physical and motor aptitude schools in overweight and obesity

The aim of this study was to verify influences of obesity on physical and motor aptitude of State school children in Florianópolis/SC. The research was designed as descriptive diagnostic, of field; presenting as population preschoolers of both genders with ages between 06 and 09 years of age from Elementary Schools of the continental region of Florianópolis/SC. sample was composed by children that presented overweight and obesity, that is, percentile between 85-95 or over 95 according to Center for Desease Control and Prevention - CDC, 2000. Therefore, sample was composed by 66 pupils of both genders with ages between 06 - 09 years of age. For data collection were used as instruments the tests of physical aptitude protocol of PROESPBR; the tests of motor aptitude through Motor Development Scale - MVS by Rosa Neto, 2002. The collected data had been stored though Microsoft Excel. The nutrition level was identified through the body mass index - BMI, for growth curve and percentiles tables of CDC, 2000. For data analysis the software used was Epi-info 6.0. Descriptive statistics was used for the motor development results; therefore for comparative analysis was used the Homogeny test of Barllet: Wen the data normally distributed the Students Test t and when the data were Normally distributed the Students Test t and when don t presented the data normally distributed Kruskal-Wallis Test, whit level of significance p<0,05. The results of the nutrition evaluation had shown that 12% of the sample have overweight and obesity, however of a sample of 131 individuals only 66 were authorized by the parents to participate actively of the research. Concerning the motor development the group got a QMG of 78,5 being classified as inferior with negative age of 21,4 months; as for the motor quotient of each area, the biggest difficulties found had been in the areas of the fine motricity and space organization. When comparing the chronological age, general motor age, motor ages by area, general motor quotient and for area between genders, statistical differences had been observed between genders only in the general motor age (GMA), general motor quotient (GMQ) and motor quotients of fine motricity and time organization, and in all of these four boys had higher scores. In the evaluation of the physical aptitude related to health the test of cardiorespiratory endurance was used, 83.3% of the children with overweight and obesity were below the healthful zone of physical aptitude and in the agility test these children performances had also been considered weak and very weak .O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influencia da obesidade na aptidão física e motora dos escolares da rede Estadual do continente de Florianópolis/SC. Pesquisa caracterizada como descritiva diagnóstica, de campo; apresentando como população os escolares de ambos os sexos matriculados regularmente no período matutino e vespertino da 1a. e 2a. série do Ensino Fundamental com idades entre 06 a 09 anos das Escolas da região continental de Florianópolis/SC. A seleção da amostra foi os escolares que apresentavam sobrepeso e obesidade, isto é, percentil entre 85-95 ou maior 95 segundo Centers for Desease Control and Prevention CDC, 2000. Logo, a amostra foi composta por 66 alunos de ambos os sexos com idades entre 06 09 anos. Para coleta de dados foi utilizado como instrumentos os testes de aptidão física seguindo o protocolo do PROESP-BR; os testes de aptidão motora realizado através da Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor EDM de Rosa Neto, 2002. Os dados coletados foram armazenados numa planilha do Excel. O estado nutricional foi identificado através do índice de massa corporal IMC, pelas tabelas de curva de crescimento e percentis do CDC, 2000. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o software Epi-info 6.0. Foi utilizada a estatística descritiva mediante a análise da distribuição da freqüência simples e percentuais, média, variância, desvio padrão, mediana, valor mínimo e máximo para os resultados do desenvolvimento motor; já para analise comparativa foi utilizado o teste de Homogeneidade de Barllet: para dados distribuídos normalmente Teste t de student e quando não apresentaram dados distribuídos normalmente utilizou-se o Teste de kruskal-wallis, com níveis de significância p
