- Active parents, active children: The importance of parental organized physical activity in children’s extracurricular sport participationPublication . Rodrigues, Daniela; Padez, Cristina; Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides M.This study investigated whether parental participation in organized and unorganized physical activity (PA) was associated with children’s participation in extracurricular sport. The sample comprised 834 parents and their children (aged 6–10 years), living in central Portugal. Questionnaires assessed parental PA (organized and unorganized) and extracurricular sport participation in children (number of sports and frequency of participation). Multinomial logistic regression was applied to assess associations between parental and child physical behaviors. Having both parents active was significantly associated with frequent participation in more sports both in girls and boys but a strong relation according to gender was found. The odds of boys practicing more than one sport and more times per week were higher if they had an active father. Girls with physically active mothers, particularly with mothers practicing organized PA in a regular way, were engaged in more sports and practiced sport more times per week. The type of PA practiced by the parents was not related to boys’ participation in sport. Future interventions should be family-based and focus on the promotion of higher levels of parental PA, including organized, in order to improve their children’s active behaviors.
- Comportamento alimentar restritivo e excesso de peso em jovens portuguesesPublication . Antunes, Beatriz; Pinho, Ana Carina; Peralta, Kristina; Rodrigues, Daniela; Martins, Emília; Mendes, Francisco; Fernandes, Rosina; Fonseca, SusanaDar atenção às dimensões emocionais do comportamento alimentar, incluindo a restrição, é fundamental na compreensão do excesso de peso/obesidade. Neste estudo, procurouse analisar a relação entre comportamentos alimentares restritivos e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) numa amostra de 128 jovens e adultos portugueses. Para a recolha de dados foi utilizado o Three Factor Eating Questionary (TFEQ), tendo sido analisada apenas a subescala da restrição alimentar. As análises estatísticas (Rho de Spearman) foram realizadas com recurso ao SPSS IBM 22. Constatou-se que os valores mais elevados de restrição alimentar se registaram nos sujeitos com excesso de peso, mais velhos e do género feminino. Entre o IMC e a restrição alimentar verificou-se uma correlação positiva, moderada e altamente significativa (rho=.304, p=.001), apontando os resultados para a necessidade de se ter em consideração as dimensões emocionais (restrição) no planeamento de intervenções, por exemplo, no âmbito da perda de peso.
- Sleep duration, risk of obesity, and parental perceptions of residential neighborhood environments in 6–9 years‐old childrenPublication . Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides; Rodrigues, Daniela; Gama, Augusta; Nogueira, Helena; Mascarenhas, Luís P.; Padez, CristinaObjectives: The present study aimed to analyze the association between healthy sleep duration of children and the parental perception of the social/built environment. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done and a sample of 8273 children (4183 females) aged 6–9 years was observed. Height (cm) and weight (Kg) were measured, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Participants were classified as normal weight or overweight/obese. Sleep habits, sedentary behaviors (i.e., TV viewing) and environmental variables were assessed by questionnaire. Logistic regressions were used, with adjustments for age, sex, BMI, and sedentary time. Results: Children whose parents reported a positive perception of the built environment in the residential area were 1.21 times more likely to have regular sleep habits during weekdays. Furthermore, children whose parents reported a negative perception of the social environment and safety were 81% more likely to have irregular sleep habits during the weekdays. Conclusions: The present study revealed a positive association between regular sleep during the weekdays and the parental perception of the social/built environment (land use and urban design).
