Nível de atividade física, depressão, ansiedade e qualidade de vida dos acadêmicos de educação física de uma ies particular no interior de Goiás

Abstract

Entering a higher education course means a very big change and this becomes a huge challenge for most individuals. In these situations, these young people find themselves in countless situations of social stress that affect their quality of life, which can lead to psychological and mental illnesses. In addition, a double shift of work and college can lead to a reduction or non-practice of physical activity. Thus, this work aimed to assess the level of physical activity, anxiety/depression and quality of life of students in the Physical Education course. It is an observational cross-sectional study that was carried out via the Google Forms platform, with 29 students from the Licentiate and Bachelor's Degree Physical Education courses, with relative and absolute frequency, mean and standard deviation. Quality of life parameters were found within the scores considered regular, but with some dissatisfaction with their own health, students with symptoms of high anxiety, most without depressive symptoms, and many physically active. It was concluded that, in general, the students have a good quality of life, but with a high rate of anxiety symptoms. They are very active in terms of physical exercise and without depressive symptoms.
