TAPIA-SERRANO, Miguel Angel; VAQUERO-SOLIS, Mikel; CERRO-HERRERO, David e SANCHEZ-MIGUEL, Pedro Antonio. The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and the Physical Activity Level in Adolescents. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.71-78. Epub 30-Dez-2020. ISSN 1657-8961. https://doi.org/10.11144/javerianacali.ppsi18-2.rimc.
Objective.
The objective of this research is to analyse the relationship between the perceived body mass index and physical activity in adolescents.
Method.
A total of 605 adolescent students between 12 and 15 years old participated. The variables for perceived weight, height and physical activity level were assessed using a self-report questionnaire.
Results.
The results showed significant associations between the perceived body mass index and the physical activity level. The regression analysis showed that the perceived body mass index serves to predict the physical activity level. The analysis of covariance, demonstrated the existence of significant differences between overweight and obese adolescents versus those of normal weight.
Conclusion.
It has been shown that adolescents who perform less PA are more likely to be overweight.
