- Abstract
The objective of the present study is to describe the anthropometric characteristics and lifestyle in Primary School (PS) students and to observe if there are differences in the variables analyzed regarding sex, school grade, educational cycle, number of weekly Physical Education sessions and type of educational center. In this study, 793 PS students participated. Among the results obtained, significantly higher values were observed in the group of boys, compared to the group of girls, in the weekly practice of physical exercise (p <0.01) and in the recreative use of screens on weekends (p <0.01). Significant differences were also found depending on the school grade, the educational cycle and the type of educational center. These results show the importance of understanding the specific characteristics of the groups of schoolchildren, with the objective of being efficient in the necessary implementation of policies encouraging the practice of PA.
