RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

O objetivo do presente estudo foi associar a prática de caminhada e de atividades físicas moderadas a vigorosas (AFMV) no lazer à percepção dos ambientes construído, natural e social em adultos e idosos de um município do Sul do Brasil.

Método:

Tratou-se de estudo transversal de base populacional, realizado na zona urbana do município do Rio Grande, RS. Para a avaliação da prática de atividade física (AF), fez-se uso do Questionário Internacional de AF (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ) e, para avaliar a percepção do ambiente, utilizou-se uma escala modificada do instrumento Neighborhood Environmental Walkability Scale (NEWS). Realizaram-se as análises estatísticas por meio de regressão de Poisson, considerando-se o efeito do desenho amostral.

Resultados:

Dos 1 . 429 indivíduos elegíveis, entrevistaram-se 1.290 (90,3%). Apenas 18,8% praticavam caminhada no lazer e 23,4% praticavam AFMV. Obtiveram associação à caminhada e às AFMV as seguintes variáveis o recebimento de convites de amigos para realizar atividade física no bairro e a realização de passeios com cachorros. Para a prática de caminhada, também houve associação à segurança no bairro e à presença de áreas verdes e de instalações para a prática de AF. Para a AFMV, também houve associação ao recebimento de convites de parentes para realizar atividade física.

Conclusões:

Os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram que o suporte social, o acesso a localidades propícias e a boa percepção de segurança estiveram associados à prática de atividade física, sendo mais proeminentes para a caminhada e para o sexo feminino.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

The objective of the present study was to associate walking for leisure and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in leisure-time with the perception of adults and the elderly's built, natural and social environments in Southern Brazil.

Methods:

It was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in the urban area of the municipality of Rio Grande. To assess the practice of physical activity (PA), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used. To assess perception of the environment, a modified version of the Neighborhood Environmental Walkability Scale (NEWS) was used. The statistical analysis was carried out using Poisson regression, considering the effect of sampling design.

Results:

Of the 1,429 eligible, 1,290 (90.3%) were interviewed. Only 18.8% of the interviewees practiced walking and 23.4% practiced MVPA. The significant associations with both walking and MVPA were for receiving invitations from friends to perform PA and take walks with their dog. The practice of walking was also associated with safety and access to public places for physical activity in the neighborhood. For MVPA, there was also an association with receiving invitations from family members to perform PA.

Conclusion:

The results of this study showed that social support, access to facilities and good perception of safety were associated with PA, and were more prominent for leisure walking and for women.
