Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective:
The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity (PA) in 2013 and 2019 according to sociodemographic characteristics in Brazilian adults.Methods:
We analyzed data from the National Health Surveys (PNS) conducted in 2013 and 2019. Prevalence of leisure-time PA (150+ minutes per week in physical activities) was calculated according to sex, age, education, race/skin color, Federative Units and regions of Brazil in 2013 and 2019. Poisson regression models and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to compare leisure-time PA across different groups in 2013 and 2019.Results:
The proportion of Brazilian adults active in leisure-time increased from 22.7% (95%CI 22.06-23.34 in 2013 to 30.1% (95%CI 29.44-30.67) in 2019. The prevalence of leisure-time physical activity increased between 2013 and 2019 in 23 of the 27 Federative Units in Brazil. Both in 2013 and in 2019, the proportion of active people during leisure time was higher in men, young people, with a high level of education and individuals with white skin color. Overall, the magnitude of the observed differences in leisure-time PA between sociodemographic groups slightly decreased from 2013 to 2019.Conclusion:
Despite the increase in the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity among Brazilian adults in the last six years, marked sociodemographic inequalities persist. The success of future public policies to promote physical activity in leisure must be evaluated from the perspective of social determinants of health and the reduction of inequalities in the practice of physical activity.RESUMO
Objetivo:
Analisar a prática de atividade física (AF) no lazer de 2013 e 2019 na população adulta brasileira e segundo características sociodemográficas.Métodos:
Análise da base de dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS), comparando-se o indicador de AF no lazer na PNS 2013 e 2019. A prevalência de AF no lazer (150+ minutos por semana em atividades físicas) foi calculada de acordo com sexo, idade, escolaridade, raça/cor da pele, Unidades Federativas e regiões do Brasil em 2013 e 2019. Análises de regressão de Poisson e intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95% foram utilizados para a comparação da atividade física no lazer entre diferentes grupos populacionais em 2013 e 2019.Resultados:
A proporção de adultos brasileiros ativos no lazer aumentou de 22,7% (IC95% 22,06-23,34) em 2013 para 30,1% (IC95% 29,44-30,67) em 2019. A prevalência de atividade física no lazer aumentou entre 2013 e 2019 em 23 das 27 Unidades Federativas do Brasil. Tanto em 2013 quanto em 2019, a proporção de ativos no lazer foi maior em homens, jovens, com alta escolaridade e indivíduos com cor da pele branca. De uma forma geral, a magnitude da diferença na prática de atividade física entre grupos sociodemográficos observada em 2013 diminuiu ligeiramente em 2019.Conclusão:
Apesar do aumento na prevalência de atividade física no lazer em adultos brasileiros nos últimos seis anos, marcadas desigualdades sociodemográficas ainda persistem. O sucesso de futuras políticas públicas de promoção da atividade física no lazer deve ser avaliado sob a ótica dos determinantes socias de saúde e da redução de desigualdades na prática de atividade física.
