Resumen

Actualmente faltan estudios que examinen la asociación longitudinal entre actividad física (AF) y salud mental con acelerómetros en adolescentes. El objetivo del estudio fue investigar si cambios en la AF y el tiempo sedentario (TS) se asocian con la salud mental en una cohorte de adolescentes. Participaron 246 adolescentes (130 varones, 116 mujeres) de entre 13 y 15 años (13.28 ± .57) de una ciudad del norte de España. AF y TS se midieron mediante acelerometría. El bienestar psicológico (BP) fue medido mediante un cuestionario validado. Se implementaron modelos de regresión linear incluyendo el BP como variable dependiente, y las intensidades de AF y el TS como predictores. Las mujeres que incrementaron su AF ligera, moderada y vigorosa incrementaron significativamente su BP en T2, mientras que esto no ocurrió en los varones. No hubo asociación entre el TS y el BP. Los resultados sugieren que cambios en la AF y no en el TS, se asocian a cambios en el BP en adolescentes. Sin embargo, esta asociación se dio solo en las mujeres. Debido a que estas mostraron peor BP en ambas mediciones, es posible que exista un umbral óptimo para los efectos de la AF en la salud mental. Se requieren más estudios al respecto.
