Problem: Scientific evidence related to gender indicates a greater sedentary lifestyle in girls. Objective: To compare moderate and high physical activity by gender, energy expenditure rate, heart rate and the effort perception among students in third and fourth grade in elementary school during physical education class and recess. Method: 65 students participated (age 8.7 ± 0.4) evaluating 16 physical education classes and recess using as instruments the system to observe the physical activity instruction time, polar heart rate monitor® and the graphical effort classification table for children. Results: The t-Student test reported significant differences in physical education with higher averages in boys than girls with moderate to high intensity physical activity (0.001), energy expenditure rate (0.002) and heart rate (0.005). Conclusion: Considering the results, the study concludes that the intensity of physical activity is greater in boys, therefore it is important to provide feedback on how to improve physical education classes, with didactic strategies and contents that involve girls equally in physical activity.
