Resumo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a relação entre as dimensões do mobiliário e as dimensões antropométricas das crianças e pré-adolescentes em idade escolar. Entraram no estudo crianças e pré-adolescentes de 5 a 12 anos (n=946), foram avaliadas as medidas antropométricas (altura do ombro, altura do cotovelo em repouso, altura do joelho, altura poplítea, comprimento nadegueiro-poplíteo e largura da anca) e as medidas do mobiliário que usam (altura da mesa, profundidade da mesa, largura da mesa, altura da cadeira, altura do assento, profundidade do assento, largura do assento, altura do encosto e largura do encosto). Com a utilização das equações propostas por Gouvali e Boudolos (2006) foram analisadas as dimensões de mobiliário aceitáveis de acordo com a antropometria. A altura do assento foi apenas apropriada para 12,37% dos participantes, sendo que 84,14% apresentavam cadeiras com altura superior ao recomendado, a profundidade do assento foi adequada para 30,44%, a largura do assento foi adequado para 24,21%, a altura do encosto foi apenas adequado para 28,75%, sendo que 39,32% tinham alturas de encosto superiores ao recomendado e a altura da mesa foi adequada para 15,33%, sendo que 78,01% tinham alturas da mesa inferiores ao recomendado. Concluímos que as dimensões do mobiliário escolar adotadas pelas escolas avaliadas não apresentavam uma relação adequada com as dimensões antropométricas das crianças e pré-adolescentes em idade escolar.
Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relation between the furniture dimensions and the anthropometric dimensions of the children in school age. It participated in this study children between the age of 5 and 12 years old (n=946), were evaluated the anthropometric measures (shoulder height, elbow rest height, knee height, popliteal height, popliteal-buttock length and hip breadth) and the measures of the furniture that they use (desk height, desk depth, desk width, chair height, seat height, seat depth, seat width, backrest height and backrest width). Equations of the Gouvali and Boudolos, (2006) were used to acceptable furniture dimensions according to the anthropometry. Seat height was only suitable for 12,37% of the participants, being that 84,14% presented chairs with height above the recommended, while the seat depth was suitable for 30,44%, seat width was suitable for 24,21%, the backrest height was only suitable for 28,75%, being that 39,32% had backrest heights above the recommended and the desk height was only suitable for 15,33%, being that 78,01% had desk heights below the recommended. We conclude that the school furniture dimensions adopted by the evaluated schools do not present a suitable relation with the anthropometric dimensions of the children in school age.
