This study related the practice of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SB) of schoolchildren in urban (UA) and rural (RA) areas with the quantity and availability of places and equipment for practice close to the school. PA level and time in SB were obtained through the Neighborhood Impact on Kids (NIK) Self-Report Survey and information about locations and equipment through Google Earth Pro images, processed by QGIS software version 3.10.2. 1,431 students (769 from UA), aged 12 to 17, participated. The Chi-square test, Student's t test and linear and binary logistic regression models were used for 95% confidence intervals and 5% significance. The results indicate that in the UA a greater number of places and equipment was associated with a longer time in PA at almost all intensities, greater chances of meeting WHO recommendations for practice and greater chances of spending >2h in almost all SB. In the RA, a greater number of locations and equipment was associated with less time in PA at all intensities, lower chances of meeting the recommendations for PA and no association with SB. The results demonstrated that the availability of a greater number of places and equipment seems to contribute to better PA indicators in the UA, worse PA indicators in the RA and increased time in SB in the UA.
