RAMOS-CABALLERO, Diana Marcela et al. Effects of a physical activity promotion program over adolescent women from two schools in Bogotá, D.C. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2016, vol.64, suppl.1, pp.31-37. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v64n3Supl.51370.
Introduction:
Physical inactivity currently prevails throughout the population, particularly adolescents, generating health consequences. In turn, the school setting provides a conducive environment to promote healthy lifestyles. This study proposes the implementation and evaluation of the impact of a model for physical activity promotion, with the purpose of modifying individual and collective behaviors towards regular physical activity.
Objective:
To assess the effects of a physical activity promotion program on fitness components related to health in adolescent women from two schools in Bogotá.
Materials and methods:
This is a longitudinal, descriptive, exploratory study with pre-post fitness measurements related to health. 49 healthy female students from two schools in Bogota (aged15.33±1.36) participated in the program for 12 weeks. SPSS 20 was used for analysis.
Results:
After the intervention, significant changes were found in abdominal and lower limb strength. Other variables measured showed positive changes, but not significant.
Conclusions:
The proposed program generates positive changes in most fitness components regarding health in adolescent women.
