The present study aimed at describing and comparing the physical activity (PA) patterns of adolescents from a middle-income country over a 4-year period. This is a longitudinal observational study (four waves of data collection, 2014-2017) with 668 adolescents aged 10-13 years in 2014 (mean age of 11.8 ± 0.8 years), of both sexes (53.3% girls), from public schools in João Pessoa, Paraíba state, Brazil. PA was measured using a questionnaire and pattern operationally defined based on the following indicators: type, frequency, duration, and PA recommendations. The most practiced physical activities during the study period were active commuting, games, dancing, cycling, soccer, and futsal. There was a linear trend to a decline in the number of adolescents engaging in nearly all the physical activities, in the duration of activities and the proportion that met the PA recommendations (52.8% in 2014 to 32.2% in 2017). The adolescents engaged in different physical activities, but these declined over the years.
本研究旨在描述和比较一个中等收入国家青少年在4年期间的身体活动（PA）模式。这是一项纵向观察性研究（2014 - 2017年进行了四轮数据收集），研究对象为2014年年龄在10 - 13岁的668名青少年（平均年龄11.8±0.8岁），来自巴西帕拉伊巴州若昂佩索阿市的公立学校，男女皆有（女孩占53.3%）。使用问卷测量身体活动，并根据以下指标对模式进行操作性定义：类型、频率、持续时间和身体活动建议。在研究期间，最常进行的身体活动有积极通勤、游戏、跳舞、骑自行车、足球和室内足球。几乎所有身体活动的参与青少年数量、活动持续时间以及达到身体活动建议的比例（从2014年的52.8%降至2017年的32.2%）均呈线性下降趋势。青少年参与不同的身体活动，但这些活动在多年间有所减少。
