1673/2013 - Atividades físicas no lazer entre adultos de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina: estudo populacional sobre as características das práticas e de seus praticantes Leisure-time physical activities among adults in Florianopolis, Brazil: a population study about the characteristics of the practices and practitioners
O estudo determinou características das práticas e dos praticantes de atividades físicas no lazer entre adultos de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Conduziu-se um inquérito transversal de base populacional de setembro/2009 a janeiro/2010 (n=1.720). A atividade física no lazer foi determinada por meio de questionário validado. Caminhada (32,9%) e musculação (16,7%) foram as atividades físicas mais relatadas. Homens e adultos mais jovens praticaram mais frequentemente atividades físicas vigorosas. Não foram observadas diferenças de gênero ou idade em relação à frequência e à duração das atividades físicas. Caminhada e ginástica foram mais praticadas por mulheres. Corrida e futebol foram mais praticados por homens. A idade associou-se diretamente ao relato de caminhada e, inversamente, ao futebol e musculação. Brancos e negros apresentaram, respectivamente, maiores práticas de ginástica e futebol. Adultos com companheiro(a) praticaram mais caminhada e futebol, e menos musculação. A escolaridade associou-se diretamente com práticas de corrida e ginástica, e inversamente com o futebol. A renda associou-se inversamente com o relato do futebol, e diretamente com a prática de musculação. Ações de promoção da atividade física devem considerar os distintos interesses populacionais para o estímulo à sua prática no âmbito do lazer.

Abstract:
The study determined characteristics of practices and practitioners of leisure-time physical activities among adults from Florianopolis, Brazil. We carried out a population-based cross-sectional survey from September/2009 to January/2010 (n = 1,720). Leisure-time physical activity was assessed by a validated questionnaire. Walking (32.9%) and weight lifting (16.7%) were the most frequently reported physical activities. Vigorous intensity physical activities were more frequent among men and younger adults. There were no gender or age differences in relation to the frequency and duration of physical activities. Walking and gymnastics were more frequently practiced by women, while jogging and soccer, by men. Age was positively associated with report of walking, and negatively, with the soccer and weight lifting. Whites and blacks, respectively, practiced more frequently gymnastics and soccer. Adults living with a partner practiced more walking and soccer, and less weight lifting. Educational level was directly associated with jogging and gymnastics, but inversely with soccer. Income was inversely associated with soccer and directly associated with weight lifting. Policies to promote physical activity should consider the different interests of population to be stimulated the scope of their practice in leisure-time.
