Abstract(s)
Com o início da Pandemia de COVID-19, os confinamentos e as medidas de
segurança a ela inerentes foram muitas as barreiras que se criaram à prática de atividade física,
por exemplo, pelo encerramento de espaços para este efeito, como os ginásios.
Perante esta situação, foram diversos os investigadores que se dedicaram a
compreender as consequências da pandemia a diversos níveis. Contudo, a literatura revista
apresenta algumas lacunas quanto à prática de exercício físico e, com essa motivação, a
presente dissertação procura compreender quais os fatores do modelo COM-B (Capacidade,
Oportunidade e Motivação) que, de forma mais ou menos significativa, influenciam a
manutenção da prática de atividade física.
Tendo em conta a natureza populacional deste estudo, foi solicitada a participação de
259 participantes (M = 29.60 anos; DP = 9,92), com recurso ao preenchimento de um
questionário, relativo à avaliação da prática de atividade física e de determinantes da
manutenção da prática de atividade física.
Os principais resultados revelam que a oportunidade física e a motivação constituem
os facilitadores mais contributivos para a manutenção da prática de atividade física. Não
obstante, verifica-se também que apenas a motivação automática se revelou um preditor
significativo destes facilitadores.
ABSTRACT: With the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, confinements and the security measures inherent to it, many barriers were created to the practice of physical activity, for example, by the closure of spaces for this purpose, such as gyms. Faced with this situation, several researchers dedicated themselves to understanding the consequences of the pandemic at different levels. However, the reviewed literature presents some gaps regarding the practice of physical exercise and, with this motivation, this dissertation seeks to understand which factors of the COM-B model (Capacity, Opportunity and Motivation) that, in a more or less significant way, influence maintaining physical activity. Taking into account the population-based nature of this study, 259 participants (M = 29.60 years old; SD = 9.92) were asked to participate, completing a questionnaire regarding the assessment of physical activity and determinants of maintenance of physical activity. The main results reveal that physical opportunity and motivation are the most important facilitators for maintaining physical activity. However, it also appears that only automatic motivation proved to be a significant predictor of these facilitators.
