Abstract
Purpose: The objetive of this study was to identify the state of art in reference to the relationship between Physical Activity Habits and Weight.
Methods: A systematic research in the databases: EBSCO, SCIELO, MEDLINE, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, DIALNET was made with the next keywords: Physical Activity Habits, Children, Body Mass Index, and the boolean operators "and" & "not [Adolescents]". A total of 5214 articles published in the last 5 years was retrieved; then 450 relevant titles were chosen, the irrelevant abstracts were rejected and finally 150 articles in English and Spanish were chosen were considered relevant to the knowledge of the subject.
Results: The 150 articles selected were from; Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, United States of America, London, Australia, Lithuania, Portugal, Canada, Marruecos, France, United Kingdom, Argentina, Cuba, Spain and Germany.
A correlation between Physical activity habits and Body Mass Index in children were identified. It was observed that there are still limitations in research, which address different approaches in the variables and in their measurements, so the construction of more diverse knowledge is not so deep. It is visible that has not yet been able to implement or execute a comprehensive solution for promoting Physical Activity Habits in Children. And therefore becomes important to develop research to provide relevant information and incorporate new knowledge for nursing and other professions contributing to the solution.
Conclusion: Physical activity is related to the child's BMI, however more research is needed to deepen and corroborate the results.
