Fadiga e percepção de qualidade de vida de futuros professores de educação física

Abstract

Objective: To identify the level of fatigue and perception of quality of life of future physical education teachers and verify whether there is a difference between the sexes. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional research, carried out with 90 students (43 females and 47 males), with a median age of 22.3 (20.8-25.7) years. The level of fatigue was estimated using the Piper Fatigue Scale Questionnaire and the subjective assessment of quality of life using the WHOQOL-Bref. Results: The domains of behavioral and affective fatigue were classified with higher prevalence at the medium level. The psychological domain showed a higher percentage of fatigue at the severe level. When comparing the male and female groups, there was no significant difference in the domains between the groups. The evaluation of the perception of quality of life showed a significant difference in the physical and psychological domains for the male group. Conclusions: Future physical education teachers have a higher prevalence of fatigue classified at the medium level, however, with no statistical difference between the groups. The physical and social relationship domains of quality of life presented a higher average scale than the psychological and environmental domains, with a significant difference being found between the groups for the physical and psychological domains.
