Abstract

To determine the level of physical activity (PA) and the association of this factor with excessive Internet use among adolescents from the "Mi Perú" district in the Callao region. This cross-sectional descriptive study included 15-19-year-old students at state schools in the "Mi Perú" district. The long version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was applied in the subjects' classrooms between October and December 2013. PA was expressed in metabolic equivalent of task (MET) units and classified as low, moderate, and high. Internet usage of ≥20 hours per week was considered excessive. Of the total participants, 59% (272), 25.8% (119), and 15.2% (70) had high, moderate, and low levels of PA, and 50% of adolescents had a PA level ≤4,212 MET/min/wk. According to the IPAQ, higher levels of PA were achieved in the areas of "house work" and "recreation". The PA for house work was higher in female subjects relative to male subjects (p=0.010), whereas the PA for recreation was higher among male subjects (p=0.009). Only 2.6% (12) of teenagers used the Internet for >20 hours per week. This study reveals a high level of PA and a lack of association between the PA level and excessive Internet use in the studied population.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 February 2018.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#277
of 458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#300,362
of 381,838 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#6
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 458 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 381,838 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
