Determinantes da prática de atividade física na comunidade acadêmica: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The practice of physical activity provides several health benefits. Physical activity is any body movement that produces a higher energy expenditure than at rest, performed by the skeletal muscles. Physical inactivity is one of the major factors that cause noncommunicable diseases to eventually result in death. Coupled with this, upon entering the university, young people eventually adopt a sedentary lifestyle due to new study routines and classes, teachers accumulate extra-university academic demands that demand a lot from these individuals, besides the stressful work routine of the servers. eventually hindering their daily practices.Articles were consulted between 1993 and 2019 to define the profile of these subjects. In short, when we approach physical activity in academia, we can see that the lack of these practices is associated with the stressful environment, the lack of time for the demand required, and the lack of practices within the university itself.
