Marco teórico: a prática de Atividade Física (AF) na escola é muito importante para as crianças de famílias com poucos recursos situadas em áreas desfavorecidas. Estas crianças não podem ter acesso a programas extraescolares de AF devido à falta de ofertas adequadas na área, os problemas de segurança, por estar em situação de menor trabalhador ou por falta de recursos financeiros (Blatchtford, Baines e Pellegrini, 2003). A escola parece ser um lugar apropriado para movimentar-se durante o intervalo. Porém, não está claro como os fatores ambientais no pátio da escola influenciam nos níveis de AF de crianças com idades diferentes. Também existem importantes diferenças na AF das crianças e adolescentes. A necessidade inata de movimentar-se pode contribuir aos níveis de AF mais altos nas crianças que nos adolescentes, inclusive em ambientes similares (Rowland & Hughes, 2006). Objetivo: Neste estudo compararam-se os níveis de atividade física das crianças e adolescentes que dividem a mesma escola (os adolescentes vão à escola de manhã, as crianças vão à tarde). Método: Os observadores utilizaram o sistema SOPLAY (System for Observing Play and Leisure Activity in Youth) (McKenzie, 2000) para obter dados sobre a quantidade e o tipo de AF que praticam as crianças e adolescentes durante os intervalos. Resultados: Os resultados indicam que 52, 7% dos estudantes não realizam nenhum tipo de AF durante o repouso e permanecem sedentários, 27,2% pratica AF de intensidade moderada, 20,1% pratica AF vigorosa. 47, 3% das crianças e adolescentes praticam atividade física de intensidade moderada a vigorosa (MVPA). Os resultados mostram diferenças significativas (p <0,5) entre as crianças e adolescentes, as crianças são mais ativas durante o intervalo escolar que os adolescentes.
