ABSTRACT
The study aims to evaluate the association between social support from partners (SSP) and physical activity (PA) levels. A cross-sectional study conducted in 26 gyms (n = 390) from Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Methods:

PA was measured using questions about frequency/duration of PA performed at the gym and elsewhere and analyzed as numerical and dichotomized (median). SSP was measured using a validated questionnaire and analyzed in quartiles. Respectively, Linear and Poisson regression were used to assess the associations. SSP was associated with PA in both analyses. Persons belonging to the highest SSP quartile performed 66.1 (95%CI 11.1 - 121.0) more minutes of PA and had 1.37 (95%CI1.01 ­ 1.85) higher probability to perform more than 300 min/week of PA than those from the lowest SSP quartile. SSP was associated with PA, researchers must consider the potential of SSP when targeting PA behavioral changes
RESUMO
O estudo objetiva avaliar a associação entre apoio social do cônjuge (ASC) e o níveis de atividade física (AF). Estudo transversal realizado em 26 academias (n = 390) de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A AF foi medida usando perguntas sobre frequência e duração de AF realizadas na academia e em outros locais, a mesma foi analisada como desfecho numérico e dicotomizado (mediana). O ASC foi medido utilizando um questionário validado e analisado em quartis. Respectivamente, regressões Linear e de Poisson foram utilizadas para avaliar as associações entre os desfechos e as exposições. Pessoas pertencentes ao quartil mais alto de ASC realizaram 66,1 (IC95% 11,1 - 121,0) mais minutos de AF e tiveram 1,37 (IC95% 1,01 - 1,85) maior probabilidade de realizar mais de 300 min/semana AF do que os do quartil de ASC mais baixo. O ASC está diretamente associado com maiores níveis de AF, pesquisadores devem considerar o potencial do ASC ao direcionar as mudanças comportamentais do AF
