Preferencias y hábitos respecto a la realización de ejercicio físico y práctica deportiva en los habitantes del municipio de Cubará

Abstract

Understanding the preferences of a population regarding physical exercise and sports practice allows for the analysis of their habits, including specific data such as the duration and frequency of training. Additionally, it helps to analyze the motivational factors and barriers encountered when engaging in physical activity. Therefore, a research instrument (survey) is used to address these questions and subsequently analyze the results obtained. The surveyed population, represented by residents from both urban and rural areas, exhibits an active physical lifestyle, indicating their preferred practices, the time available for these activities, the frequency and volume of training, as well as the factors that hinder sports practice, such as time availability, lack of adequate facilities and sports equipment, and the need for motivation to engage in such activities.

Gaining firsthand knowledge of these various situations enables the promotion, structuring, and implementation of effective strategies to engage individuals who do not participate in any form of physical or sports activity. This, in turn, helps to improve health and well-being levels among the residents of both the urban and rural areas of the municipality of Cubará.
