Abstract

Objective: to compare the level of physical activity and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress according to sex in school adolescents. Methods: cross-sectional study with students from public high schools. For data collection were used: Sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale for Youth (DASS-Y). Pearson’s chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests and the univariate General Linear Model were used in the analysis. Results: participation of 516 adolescents, 214 male and 302 female adolescents. Both sexes present less physical activity practice than that recommended for adolescents. Male participants have a greater practice of physical activity outside of school compared to female adolescents, predominantly soccer (33.0%). Female participants had more severe levels of depression (p = 0.002), anxiety (p = 0.013) and stress (p = 0.004) compared to male adolescents (weak Cohen’s d). Conclusion: there is no difference in the level of physical activity in school adolescents according to sex. Male adolescents present greater practice of physical activities outside of school. Female adolescents present higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress.
