0295/2020 - Prática de atividade física em meio a pandemia da COVID-19: estudo de base populacional em cidade do sul do Brasil Physical activity practice during the COVID-19 pandemic: population-based cross-sectional study in a city of South Brazil
O objetivo do estudo foi descrever a prática de atividade física de lazer (AFL) em meio a pandemia do COVID-19 em cidade do Rio Grande do Sul, avaliando desigualdades entre os sexos e grupos de escolaridade e diferenças de acordo com o nível de distanciamento social. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de corte transversal e base populacional com adultos no município de Bagé. Foram descritas a prática de AFL durante a pandemia, local de prática e orientação profissional. Na amostra de 377 adultos, 24,4% relataram prática de AFL durante a pandemia. Foram observadas marcantes desigualdades; a prevalência AFL entre homens foi 20 pontos percentuais (pp) maior do que entre as mulheres, e 40 pp maior no grupo de maior escolaridade comparado ao grupo de menor escolaridade. Entre os que praticaram AFL durante a pandemia, 53,5% relataram a prática em casa e 64,8% não teve auxílio de um profissional de Educação Física. Não houve diferença na AFL de acordo com níveis de distanciamento social. Para além da reprodução do discurso de que as pessoas devam praticar atividade física no contexto da pandemia, este estudo buscou discutir aspectos socioculturais, enfatizando, à luz das desigualdades observadas, que a promoção de AFL necessita de olhar humanizado e atento à vida desigual das pessoas no Brasil.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to describe leisure-time physical activity (LPA) practice during the COVID-19 pandemic in the south of Brazil according to sex, level of education and adherence to social distancing. Population-based and cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in the city of Bagé. LPA practice during the pandemic, place of practice and supervision of Physical Education professional were assessed. The sample included 377 adults and 24.4% reported LPA practice during the pandemic. Marked inequalities were observed; LPA practice prevalence among men was 20 percentage points (pp) higher than women prevalence, and 40 pp higher among those with higher education level compared to the group with lower education level. Among those reporting LPA practice, 53.5% practiced at home and 64.8% did not report professional supervision. Differences between LPA and level of social distancing were not observed. Beyond the reproduction of simple approaches considering that people should include physical activity practice in the pandemic context, this study addressed social and cultural aspects not always considered in the area. We emphasized, based on the marked inequalities observed, that LPA promotion initiatives must present humanized approaches considering the unequal conditions of life in Brazil.
