Abstract:

This study, aimed to describe the use of physical education services in adults and elderly people, and to present characteristics of those who did not use these services, in addition to describing the knowledge of the population on the provision of services in public health policies. It was conducted in Rio Grande / RS, with a sample of 1300 people was interviewed by means of a questionnaire in 2016. A total of 16.1% (IC95% 13.0: 19.3) of the interviewees used the services in the last three months. Of these, 78% did so in private services, with a predominance in gymnastics (73.2%). For those who did not, the lack of time was the reason in 31.1%, and to 37.7% the school was the last contact with the teacher. A total of 18.8% of the population never used physical education services. Knowledge about physical education in public health policies was 15.4% for UBSF and 13.9% in the University Hospital. There is a low use of physical education services in the adult and elderly population, concentrated in private spaces and more accessible to groups of higher income and schooling. Thus there is an absence of democratization in the use of this service in the adult and elderly population.
