Avaliação da ausência de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis associada ao nível de exercício físico entre professores do Curso de Educação Física da Universidade Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

Physical activity practiced with some constancy is an important tool related to quality of life and health promotion of the population. In order to evaluate the level of physical exercise, field research will be used and it can be seen that the instrument used for data collection, which will be added and treated through Descriptive and Frequency Statistics, was the attempt created through google forms containing 5 questions that directly asked whether teachers had a sedentary, irregularly active, active or very active routine, as well as whether they had any type of chronic non-communicable disease (NCD). This study is justified by showing whether the frequent practice of physical activity inhibits or significantly reduces the presence of chronic noncommunicable diseases among physical education teachers at the Federal University of Paraíba. The objective of the present study will be to associate the level of physical exercise with the absence of chronic non-communicable diseases among teachers of the physical education course at the Federal University of Paraíba, however it is extremely important that NCDs are multifactorial and the present study only brought into emphasis on sedentary lifestyle as a possible cause. In the results of the comparison in the level of physical activity between physically active and non-active teachers, who have and who do not have chronic non-communicable diseases, there was a significant difference in the level of physical activity between those who have some chronic non-communicable disease (p< 0.05), showing that the most active tend not to have chronic noncommunicable diseases.
