Abstract(s)
Atualmente a atividade física (AF), a saúde e a qualidade de vida (QdV) são considerados
importantes preditores do bem-estar e de condições sociais e profissionais benéficas ao
desenvolvimento de uma população mais saudável. Este estudo analisou as relações entre
os níveis de AF e de QdV nos praticantes regulares de Desporto Para Todos na Região
Autónoma da Madeira considerando as determinantes sociodemográficas.
Este estudo, de natureza transversal, incluiu 381 participantes, 148 homens e 233
mulheres, com os seguintes intervalos etários: 18-39 anos, 40-59 anos e ≥ 60 anos. A QdV
foi avaliada através do SF-12 (versão reduzida) e a AF através do questionário de Baecke
modificado. Foram utilizados o t-teste de medidas independentes, ANOVA e análises de
regressão múltipla hierárquica.
Os homens (p=.001), as pessoas mais novas (p<.001), as pessoas com mais conhecimento
sobre o tipo e a quantidade de AF necessária (p=.009) e as pessoas com um nível
educacional mais alto (p=<.001) reportaram uma melhor QdV. Foram também
identificados níveis superiores de AF nos homens (p=.001), nas pessoas mais novas
(p=.014) e nos praticantes que possuem uma prática desportiva passada há mais de 4 anos
(p=.024).
Análises de regressão múltipla hierárquica identificaram que o índice AF desportivo, o
nível educacional, o score do PAR-Q, a depressão e o sexo eram preditores importantes
do score total da QdV (componentes física e mental). A variação total explicada pelo
modelo na QdV (SF-12) e respetivas componentes variou entre 23% na componente
mental e 46% na componente física. Este estudo confirma as relações positivas entre o índice desportivo da AF e a QdV em
praticantes de Desporto Para Todos, independentemente de determinantes
sociodemográficas e de saúde, tais como a depressão, o nível educacional, o sexo e a
idade.
Physical exercise (PE), health and quality of life (QoL) are nowadays considered important predictors of wellbeing and of social and professional conditions that favour the development of healthier populations. This study analysed the relation between the levels of PE and QoL among those who regularly do Sport For All (Desporto Para Todos) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, taking the sociodemographic determinants into account. This cross-sectional study included 381 participants – 148 men and 233 women – in the following age ranges: 18-39 years-old, 40-59 years-old, and > 60 years-old. QoL was evaluated through a reduced version of SF-12, and PE was assessed through a modified Baecke questionnaire. For data treatment, the independent t-test, ANOVA and multiple hierarchical regression analyses were used. Men (p=.001), younger people (p<.001), persons who were better informed about the type and quantity of necessary PE (p=.009) and those with a higher education level (p≤.001) showed a better QoL than the others. Higher PE levels were found in men (p=.001), in younger people (p=.014) and in persons who practised sport since the last 4 years or more (p=.024). The multiple hierarchical regression analyses indicated that the sport’s PE, the education level, the PAR-Q score, depression and gender were important predictors of the total QoL score (physical and mental components). In the model, the total variation explained by QoL (SF-12) and its components ranged between 23% (mental component) and 46% (physical component). This study confirms the positive relations between the sport index PE and QoL in those who practise Sport For All, regardless of certain sociodemographic and health determinants such as depression, education level, gender and age.
