Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the level of physical activity, well-being, mood and quality of life of freshmen in the fighting modality of a university sports program. This is a quantitative study, with an observational and cross-sectional approach. Undergraduate and graduate student population aged 18 to 65 years. Our sample included a total of 46 university students, distributed in Taekwondo (19), Jiu-Jitsu (10), Kung-Fu (17). The IPAQ results showed the Kung-Fu population as the most active (23.91%) and the Taekwondo population as less physically active (21.73%). Through the PEVI questionnaire, which allowed us to identify that the Nutrition scores were in the lowest result that, even being low, were found with regular well-being (1 to 1.99). In preventive behavior, Kung-Fu had the highest score (2.2), in social relationships, Jiu-Jitsu had the highest (2.13); both in excellent well-being. Among the modalities presented here, Taekwondo stands out positively in Functional Capacity (89,21), Limitation by Physical Aspects (92,11); Jiu-Jitsu, on the other hand, showed higher results in Pain (70.60), General Health (54.00), Limitation by Emotional Aspects (60.00); Kung-Fu showed high in Vitality (35.00), Social Aspects (71.32), Mental Health (61.65). Program participants in the fight modalities can be classified as active for physical activity level; regular for the level of well-being; with scores above the average for the dimensions of quality of life; but with worrying rates, especially in tension/anxiety, when it comes to mood levels. However, the program allowed the enrolled university students time to spend leisurely time in a bodily practice of their liking within the university environment. The practice of physical activity is one of the ways to improve aspects of health, quality of life, mood, psychological aspects, well-being, physical fitness, among others.
