Objetivo: Este estudo analisou se a compet\u00eancia motora (CM) e a atividade f\u00edsica de moderada a vigorosa (AFMV) em crian\u00e7as foram preditores de indicadores de adiposidade ap\u00f3s dois anos. M\u00e9todo: Um estudo longitudinal (Estudo Longitudinal de Observa\u00e7\u00e3o da Sa\u00fade e Bem-estar da Crian\u00e7a em Idade Pr\u00e9-escolar - ELOS-Pr\u00e9) foi conduzido desde 2010 e reavaliado em 2012 e 2014. O estudo atual acompanhou 391 crian\u00e7as (6,34 \u00b1 0,72 anos) matriculadas em escolas p\u00fablicas e privadas durante 2012 e 2014, de Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. Os indicadores de adiposidade foram avaliados usando a circunfer\u00eancia da cintura, a soma das dobras cut\u00e2neas tricipital e subescapular (\u03a3DC) e o \u00edndice de massa corporal (IMC). A AFMV foi medida com aceler\u00f4metros. A CM foi avaliada usando o K\u00f6rperkoordination Test f\u00fcr Kinder, considerando a soma dos escores. Regress\u00f5es lineares foram realizadas para todas as an\u00e1lises. Resultados: A CM mostrou associa\u00e7\u00e3o negativa com \u03a3DC (\u03b2 = -0,09; p &lt; 0,01), IMC (\u03b2 = -0,02; p &lt; 0,01) e CC (\u03b2 = -0,07; p &lt; 0,01); tanto para a amostra total quanto para meninas\/meninos separadamente. A AFMV foi negativamente associada ao IMC (\u03b2 = -0,01; p = 0,01); no entanto, foram observadas diferen\u00e7as entre meninas e meninos. Conclus\u00f5es: CM e AFMV predizem indicadores de adiposidade em crian\u00e7as ap\u00f3s dois anos. No entanto, a CM parece ser um preditor mais adequado dos indicadores de adiposidade na inf\u00e2ncia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12820\/rbafs.31e0423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,12]],"date-time":"2026-02-12T21:14:23Z","timestamp":1770930863000},"page":"1-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A compet\u00eancia motora pode ser um melhor preditor dos indicadores de adiposidade do que a atividade f\u00edsica em crian\u00e7as?
