crianças, adolescentes, exercício, saúde, síndrome metabólica, obesidadeResumo
Nos últimos anos, a pandemia de obesidade e síndrome metabólica (SMet) tornou-se um problema predominante na população adulta e está consolidada entre as crianças e adolescentes. Os dados precisos sobre a incidência e prevalência da SM em crianças e adolescentes não são fiáveis, uma vez que o diagnóstico não é orientado por uma definição padrão ajustada às características desta população. O sedentarismo aumentou drasticamente na população jovem durante os últimos anos, onde a influência da tecnologia, as dietas hipercalóricas e a falta de espaço, tempo e interesse pela atividade física são as principais causas. Embora seja necessário implementar diversas estratégias para combater o aumento de casos de SMet na população jovem, esta revisão demonstra a importância do exercício físico de nível bioquímico e fisiológico como método clave de prevenção e tratamento, apresentando também perspectivas sobre como se deben enfocar as investigações futuras . para reconhecer e descobrir completamente este tema.
