Resumo(s)
A prática regular de atividade física proporciona inúmeros benefícios para a saúde física e mental. No entanto, esta continua a ser insuficiente entre os jovens, sobretudo na transição do ensino secundário para o ensino superior. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar e comparar as barreiras percebidas à prática regular de AF por estudantes do ensino secundário e do ensino superior. Para identificar essas barreiras, aplicou-se o questionário ABEF – Autorrelato das Barreiras para a Prática de Educação Física a 411 alunos (127 alunos do Ensino Secundário e 284 estudantes do Ensino Superior).
Os principais resultados desta investigação indicam que os estudantes do ensino superior percecionam um maior número de barreiras, destacando-se o Fator 1: Imagem corporal/Ansiedade física social e o Fator 2: Fadiga/Preguiça. Na comparação entre sexos, verificou-se que o sexo feminino apresenta mais barreiras em comparação com o sexo masculino, particularmente nos mesmos fatores.
A identificação dos fatores percecionados como barreiras à prática regular de AF permite não só a sua superação, mediante a adoção de estilos de vida mais ativos, como também contribui para a implementação de programas de promoção da atividade física mais eficazes e direcionados às necessidades específicas dos diferentes grupos populacionais.
Regular physical activity offers numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. However, it remains insufficient among young people, especially during the transition from secondary to higher education. This study aimed to characterize and compare the perceived barriers to physical activity (PA) among secondary and higher education students. To identify these barriers, the ABEF questionnaire – Self-Report of Barriers to Physical Education Practice was applied to 411 students (127 high school students and 284 higher education students). The main results indicate that higher education students face a greater number of barriers, with Factor 1: Body Image/Social Physical Anxiety and Factor 2: Fatigue/Laziness standing out. When comparing sexes, it was found that female students report more barriers, particularly in the same factors. Identifying the factors that act as barriers to PA practice not only enables their overcoming—thus promoting more active lifestyles—but also contributes to the implementation of more effective physical activity promotion programs tailored to the specific needs of different population groups.
