Abstract

T

The increased incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is a matter of concern worldwide. Schools are a favorable environment to help preventing overweight by encouraging the consumption of healthy food and the practice of physical activity. This extension study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of students from a public school of João Pessoa, PB, Brazil, and disseminate the benefits of physical exercise and healthy eating through ludic activities and the discussion of topics related to the food pyramid and the pyramid of physical activity. The analysis of the nutritional status showed that the majority of schoolchildren presented adequate stature/ age (95,3%) and weight/age or corporal mass index/age (70,9%). However, approximately 25 % of the subjects were overweight. It was also observed that they were unaware of proportionality of food intake and the necessity of diversification of physical exercises, despite practicing them routinely. The ludic activities involving the presentation of the food pyramid and the physical activity pyramid reinforced the benefits of healthy eating associated with regular practice of physical activities as a way to maintain a healthy life and prevent diseases.
