The population of the study understood 537 adolescents of the high school level of CEFETSC. The sample was composed by 374 adolescents (69,6%) of the population, being 221 boys and 153 girls with age between 15 and 18 years, being an average of (16.9±0,8) old for the feminine sex and, (17.0±0,8) old for the masculine sex. The identification of the leisure habits felt through a questionnaire elaborated starting from the Inventory of Habits of Leisure (CLOES et. al., 1997) and of the Scale of Habits of Leisure (FORMIGA, AYROZA and DIAS, 2005). To verify the level of physical activity (LPA) the International Questionnaire of Activity Physical IPAQ short version was used (MATSUDO et. al. 2001). The physical fitness related to the health (PFRH) and related to the performance (PFRP) were investigated through the protocol of PROESP (GAYA, 2005). The evaluation of the physical growth and nutrition state was accomplished according to the criteria of Waterlow (1976), through the Software PED, which consists of a System of Evaluation of the Nutrition State in Pediatrics, developed by the Center of Computer Science in Health of the Medical School From São Paulo. It was considered the adaptation of height/age and weight/height, being taken as reference, the curves of growth of National Center it goes Health and Statistics (NCHS). Starting from the questionnaire that allowed to classify the sample in two groups, G1 (apprentices of physical activity / sport in the moments of leisure) and, G2 (not apprentices of physical activity / sport in the moments of leisure), the following was observed: a) the adolescents G1 showed a larger frequency in leisure denominated sedentary such as playing it video and to navigating in the internet; b) more than 80% of the adolescents were classified as active and very active, and G1 presented better LPA; c) G1 presented a better PFRH and, LPA of G2 doesn't correspond your PFRH, having statistical significant differences among the groups; d) both groups presented PFRP below the levels recommended by protocol of PROESP, and overweight indexes and similar obesity, not having therefore significant differences among the groups for those variables. The study shows the need to be considered the influence of the contexts and of the inter-personal relationships for best to understanding of the habits of the adolescents' leisure, in the intention that is avoided conclusions based on the cause / effect relationships. The work also showed there to be a need to accomplish more researches involving the effective model recommended for practice of the physical activity. However, without leaving of considering that more important than the volume and or the intensity that the physical activity is accomplished, is that this gets to satisfy in first place the needs of it belongs and the adolescent's self steam. / Este estudo teve como proposta identificar os hábitos de lazer de adolescentes e sua possível associação com o nível de atividade física, aptidão física e estado nutricional. A população do estudo compreendeu 537 adolescentes do ensino médio do CEFETSC. A amostra foi composta por 374 adolescentes (69,6%) da população, sendo 221 rapazes e 153 moças com idade entre 15 e 18 anos, sendo uma média de (16.9±0,8) para o sexo feminino e (17.0±0,8) para o sexo masculino. A identificação dos hábitos de lazer se deu por meio de um questionário elaboradop a partir do Inventário de Hábitos de Lazer (CLOES et. al., 1997) e da Escala de Hábitos de Lazer (FORMIGA, AYROZA e DIAS, 2005). Para verificar o nível de atividade física (NAF) foi utilizado o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física IPAQ versão curta (MATSUDO et. al. 2001). A aptidão física relacionada à saúde (AFRS) e relacionada ao desempenho (AFRD) foi investigada por meio do protocolo do PROESP (2005). A avaliação do crescimento físico e estado nutricional foi realizada segundo os critérios de Waterlow (1976), por meio do Software PED, o qual consiste em um Sistema de Avaliação do Estado Nutricional em Pediatria, desenvolvido pelo Centro de Informática em Saúde da Escola Paulista de Medicina. Assim, considerou-se a adequação estatura/idade e peso/estatura, tomando-se como referência, as curvas de crescimento do National Center for Healthe and Statistics (NCHS). A partir do questionário que permitiu classificar a amostra em dois grupos, G1 (praticantes de atividades físicas/ desportivas nos momentos de lazer) e, G2 (não praticantes de atividade física /desportiva nos momentos de lazer), observou-se o seguinte: a) os adolescentes G1 mostraram uma maior frequência em lazer denominados sedentário tais como jogar video-game e navegar na internet; b) mais de 80% dos adolescentes foram classificados como ativos e muito ativos, sendo que o G1 apresentou melhor NAF; c) o G1 apresentou uma melhor AFRS e, o NAF do G2 não corresponde a sua AFRS, havendo, inclusive, diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos; d) ambos os grupos apresentaram AFRD abaixo dos níveis recomendados pelo protocolo do PROESP, e índices de sobrepeso e obesidade similares, não havendo portanto diferenças significativas entre os grupos para essas variáveis. O estudo mostra a necessidade de se considerar a influência dos contextos e das relações inter-pessoais para melhor compreender os hábitos de lazer dos adolescentes, na intenção de que se evite conclusões baseadas nas relações de causa e efeito. O trabalho também mostrou haver uma necessidade de realizar mais pesquisas envolvendo o modelo vigente recomendado para prática da atividade física. No entanto, sem deixar de considerar que mais importante do que o volume e ou a intensidade que a atividade física seja realizada, é que esta consiga satisfazer em primeiro lugar as necessidades de pertença e autoestima do adolescente.

The aim was to determine how they interpreted and worked with the concept of inclusion for pupils with special needs. This has been done using a qualitative research methodology and a case study. Interviews have used as a data collection technique. The theoretical framework from which the study was examined were three different definitions of the concept of inclusion; the placement-oriented, the individual-oriented and the communityoriented. In this framework, there are two special pedagogical perspectives that is; the categorical and the relative perspective.  In the result, it was found that leisure time staff associate the concept of inclusion with the adaptations they make for pupils in need of support. Which suggests an individual-oriented definition of inclusion. Their way of working showed two directions in the result. The one against the individual-oriented and the other community-oriented. The challenges that existed were that the number of pupils in the groups were many and that made hard to see pupil and hence created a stressful environment.

How adolescents spend their time is a crucial predictor of their engagement in delinquency. Activities with peers away from direct supervision of adults are of concern as more opportunities and motivation to use marijuana exist in such situations. However, adolescents may vary in their propensity to use marijuana when faced the opportunity. Especially adolescents living with a single parent may have a higher propensity compared to those from two-parent households to use marijuana due to reduced parental monitoring and increased peer attachment. This thesis investigates the moderating effects of family structure on the routine leisure activities and adolescent marijuana use relationship, using data from Monitoring the Future Study 2007, 12th Grade Survey. The results provide partial support for the moderating effects.

Furthermore, the study examined sex differences and the degree of possibly confounding factors. Methods: The data was obtained from European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs, 2019 (n=1,911). Chi2-tests and logistic/multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the data. Results: Unstructured leisure-time activity was robustly positively associated with gambling participation, structured leisure-time activity was weakly negatively associated with gambling participation among students. Unstructured leisure-time activity was moderately positively associated with problem gambling, structured leisure-time activity was weakly negatively associated with problem gambling among students.
