Resumen
Background: to determine physical activity levels of a group of school adolescents in Bogota, by correlating the results of PAQ-A questionnaire with anthropometric and physical condition variables. Methods: population data were derived from PAQ-A questionnaire results, the EUROFIT battery and anthropometric measurements applied to 199 students (age= of 15,91 ± 0,93 years), correlating findings between the PAQ-A questionnaire with anthropometric measurements variables and physical condition; T test for independent samples was used. Results: except for flexibility capacity, values of p<0.05 were found in all physical condition variables. However, the anthropometric measurements did not yield significant values. Conclusion: high levels of physical activity are associated with good physical condition in adolescents, while anthropometric variables showed no association with levels of physical activity in this particular group.
