RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sports practice can promote several health benefits in pediatric populations; nonetheless, most of the studies that investigated these benefits are of cross-sectional design. Thus, our objective was to verify the effectiveness of two types of physical activities through sports, judo and ball games (soccer, volleyball, handball, and basketball) on the quality of sleep and life of Brazilian children and adolescents. METHODS: The study is a randomized clinical trial, conducted with 65 participants of both sexes (6-15 years old) in a philanthropic institution in Brazil. The variables investigated were the quality of sleep and life, using the mini-sleep questionnaire and KidsCreen-52 questionnaires (this instrument has a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best value for each domain), respectively. The interventions carried out during 12 weeks (twice a week) were judo and ball games. In the statistical analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures was used and the level of statistical significance used was 5%. RESULTS: Judo (P = 0.032) and ball games (P = 0.005) contributed to improving the quality of sleep in the participants. Considering the score of the domains of quality of life, judo and ball games significantly increased the perception of health and physical activity [mean = 6.9 (8.3%) and 8.91 (12.2%) points, respectively], autonomy [mean = 5.81 (7.3%) and 5.00 (6.9%) points], friends and social support (mean = 2.83 (3.8%) and 12.00 (15.9%) points), provocation and bullying [mean = 10.21 (18.1%) and 2.14 (4.1%) points]. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that both judo and ball games brought benefits to the quality of sleep and life of children and adolescents. Health promotion actions should encourage the increase in sports practice in children and adolescents to improve sleep and quality of life.
RESUMO
Abstract This systematic review update aimed to search for new evidences about parent-child physical activity among Brazilian studies. A new literature search for Brazilian studies published until 31 December 2019 was performed in the databases Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs, Sport Discus, and SciELO by the combination of descriptors regarding children and adolescents, physical activity, and parental support, restricted to English and Portuguese language. As result, only one new study were included besides those from previous review which corroborated with previous findings about positive relationship of parent-child physical activity. The included studies (n=14) were presented according to geographical distribution, year of publication, research design and physical activity assessment method. Limitations and future directions about specific physical activity domains and weekly amount, as well as peers and environmental support were highlighted. This review findings reinforced that parental lifestyle behavior is an important factor for active lifestyle promotion among Brazilian children and adolescents.
Resumo Esta atualização de revisão sistemática teve como objetivo buscar por novas evidências acerca da prática de atividade física de pais e filhos em estudos brasileiros. Uma nova busca na literatura por estudos brasileiros publicados até 31 de dezembro de 2019 foi realizada em cinco bases de dados (Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs and SciELO) por meio da combinação de palavras-chave sobre crianças e adolescentes, atividade física e apoio parental, restritos aos idiomas inglês e português. Como resultado, apenas um novo estudo foi incluído além daqueles provenientes da revisão prévia, que corroborou com os achados prévios sobre a relação positiva da atividade física entre pais e filhos. Os estudos que foram incluídos (n=14) são apresentados de acordo com a distribuição geográfica, ano de publicação, desenho da pesquisa e método de avaliação da atividade física. São destacadas limitações e futuros direcionamentos sobre domínios específicos da atividade física e volume semanal, bem como influência dos pares e do ambiente. Os achados desta revisão reforçaram que o estilo de vida dos pais corresponde a um fator importante para promoção de estilo de vida ativo em crianças e adolescentes brasileiros.
