- Abstract
The World Health Organization recommends that children and adolescents incorporate vigorous intensity activities but does not define how much vigorous physical activity (VPA) is necessary or what should be the duration of the activity sessions. Objective: To define the proportion of VPA in the most active physical education classes (PEC) to identify vigorous intensity physical activity sessions (i.e., activities). Methods: The PEC of 490 children (8-9 years old) were evaluated using accelerometry. The health-enhancing PEC were identified through the VPA performed and the weight status of the children. The 66.7 percentile of the VPA performed in the PEC by the children was calculated. Results: The average proportion of VPA of the health-enhancing PEC, and that performed by the most active schoolchildren (66.7 percentile) in the total PEC, show similar results. In boys, a VPA proportion of 16.3% and 16.1% was observed, respectively, and in girls 12.0% and 12.8%. Conclusion: The use of bouts of ≥60 minutes with ≥16.7% and 12.5% of VPA in boys and girls, respectively, is proposed to identify vigorous activity sessions with accelerometry.
