Abstract

Besides the knowledge gain and professional training, admission to the University by students provides several changes in behavior and lifestyle that impact the health parameters of this population. The objective of this work is to verify the levels of physical activity, well-being, humor and academic performance in university students from a higher education institution at Alagoas. Moreover, this quantitative, observational and cross-sectional study has a population of 19 undergraduate students in Physical Education, 14 of whom were male and 5 female, with an average age of 16±17 years. Hence, we used: (i) Information on the General Profile of Students: Questionnaire Social Profile and Health; (ii) Level of Physical Activity: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); (iii) Welfare: Lifestyle and Health Profile Questionnaire (PEVI); and (iv) Mood Level: Profile of Moods States (POMS). Our results indicate that, according to the IPAQ, the group is classified as Very Active in both collections (57.89% and 47.37%) in the majority. In the Bem Estar classification, the group was specified as Regular Well-Being, having its worst result in the Nutrition dimension, with 1.30 and 1.33 average score, and the best result in Physical Activity, with 2.05 and 2.08. In the Mood Level, the highest scores were found in the Stamina and Activity dimensions (12.32 and 12.26), being considered a positive result, and in Tension and Anxiety (8.79 and 9.68). Considering academic performance, all students were above average, in the second collection there was a drop to 73.64% in the same classification. Finally, we can conclude that the population can be classified from regular to good levels in the studied variables.
