Abstract

O isolamento social é estratégia para evitar o contágio e transmissão do coronavírus. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as atividades físicas (AF) realizadas em ambientes fechados e hábitos de saúde entre adolescentes durante o isolamento social devido à pandemia de COVID-19 (COVID-19). Estudo transversal com 342 adolescentes, de 12 a 17 anos de idade, estudantes de escola pública e participantes de atividades esportivas escolares. Um questionário on-line foi enviado para os estudantes com 18 perguntas sobre hábitos alimentares, sono, comportamentos de proteção ao COVID-19 e AF. A idade média dos estudantes foi de 15 ± 1,36 anos, 41,5% vivem com três pessoas, 77,5% moram em casas, 95% responderam que estão tomando as medidas de proteção recomendadas. Dois terços dos familiares trabalham fora de casa sendo que 65,2% deles em exposição direta ao COVID-19 (serviços essenciais). Mais da metade (53,2%) dos adolescentes fazem até três refeições por dia e 80% cumprem as horas de descanso recomendadas por noite. A maior parte do dia é usada em redes sociais e penas 27% atenderam às recomendações para AF e 29,8% relataram ganho de peso. Entre os adolescentes que relataram ganho de peso, 54,9% relataram fazer exercícios às vezes e 27,4% não fazem nenhum exercício (p < 0,001). Concluímos que, apesar das recomendações, houve redução nas AF diárias e aumento no tempo de tela entre adolescentes durante o período de isolamento social. Faz-se necessária reavaliação das maneiras de incentivar os adolescentes a manter a AF em ambientes fechados e hábitos de saúde mais saudáveis.
