O transtorno obsessivo compulsivo (TOC) é um transtorno psiquiátrico crônico e grave que pode levar a crises de ansiedade, estresse e comportamentos depressivos. Abordagens terapêuticas, em geral, envolvem farmacoterapia e terapia cognitivo-comportamental. Métodos alternativos de tratamento, contudo, podem incluir a prática de exercícios físicos. Este estudo buscou analisar possíveis associações entre os níveis de atividade física, ansiedade, estresse e depressão em indivíduos adultos com TOC. A coleta dos dados foi realizada no Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz pela aplicação do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e da Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse (DASS-21) a 18 pacientes. Indivíduos com níveis considerados extremamente severos para ansiedade foram 7 (38.9%), estresse 4 (22.2%) e depressão 9 (50%); indivíduos considerados ativos foram 8 (44.4%), enquanto os sedentários 4 (22.2%). Pacientes sedentários com ansiedade, depressão e estresse extremamente severos foram 3 (42.9%), 3 (33.3%) e 2 (50%), respectivamente. O teste de Spearman identificou relações significativas entre as variáveis do DASS-21, mas sem associações aos níveis de atividade física. A não observação de diferenças significativas entre os valores das escalas DASS-21 e IPAQ, pelos testes Qui-Quadrado, Exato de Fisher e Mann-Whitney, pode ter sido influenciada pelo reduzido n amostral. Deve-se reforçar, portanto, a natureza exploratória e descritiva deste estudo, não propondo inferências do tipo causa e efeito. Novos estudos, prospectivos e longitudinais podem estimar de modo mais fidedigno o potencial da atividade física sobre a sintomatologia do TOC.
