The study investigated the relationship between physical variables and quality of life perception variables of students aged 14 to 16 years old from Quixadá city, Ceará, Brazil. Forty eight subjects (24 men and 24 women) were included in the sample. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used to identify the QoL domains of participants and along with BMI measurements, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), flexibility and application of IPAQ. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation and median and interquartile range) and normality was tested. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare subjects in relation to gender and t test or Wilcoxon was used to the group analysis in relation to time. In the pre and post analysis regarding questions 1 and 2 it can be seen that self-rated life quality increased from 8.3 to 12.5 at the "very good", however with no significant differences. In conclusion, the relationship of physical domain and QoL perception were satisfactory. Therefore, QoL should be encouraged from an active lifestyle along with changing of life habits.
