Resumen

El propósito de este estudio es determinar si los adolescentes españoles estudiaron alcanzar un nivel de actividad física, que cumple con las directrices actuales para este grupo de edad. 90 adolescentes (54 chicas y 36 chicos) de 12 a 14 participaron en el estudio. Se recogió información sobre su actividad durante una semana, utilizando un acelerómetro. Los resultados muestran que estos jóvenes no alcanzan los niveles de actividad física recomendada actualmente, los resultados para las niñas es más bajo. Los resultados son algo mejores si incluimos otros patrones menos exigentes de actividad. Los hallazgos sugieren que los niños y niñas de esta edad presentan un nivel de actividad física, que es más cercano a las recomendaciones de la década de 1990 que los niveles actualmente recomendados para el grupo de edad.
