Resumen
Este estudio transversal investigó las asociaciones conjuntas de la actividad física moderada a vigorosa (AFMV) y el tiempo de uso de teléfonos celular (TT) con el rendimiento del control inhibitorio en 210 adolescentes escolares brasileños. El nivel de AFMV se evaluó utilizando el cuestionario de la Encuesta Global de Salud Escolar, categorizado como inactivo (<60 min/día) o activo (60+ min/día). El TT semanal se midió utilizando los teléfonos celulares de los participantes, categorizado como bajo (<7 h/día) o alto (7+ h/día) según la mediana. Los participantes se dividieron en cuatro grupos: inactivo + alto TT, inactivo + bajo TT, activo + alto TT y activo + bajo TT. El rendimiento del control inhibitorio se evaluó utilizando la tarea Flanker, midiendo el tiempo de reacción y la precisión en estímulos congruentes/incongruentes. Un modelo gamma múltiple generalizado reveló que solo el grupo inactivo + alto TT mostró un tiempo de reacción más alto en la fase incongruente en comparación con el grupo activo + bajo TT (β = 41,1 ms; IC del 95%: 2,3; 79,9; p = 0,038). No se encontraron diferencias en la precisión (p > 0,05). En conclusión, la inactividad física combinada con un alto TT de teléfonos celular está asociada con un peor rendimiento del control inhibitorio en adolescentes escolares.
