ARTIGO ORIGINAL | ORIGINAL ARTICLE RESUMOO estudo verificou o impacto das características individuais (sexo, faixa etária, índice de massa corporal, percentual de gordura corporal) e frequência mensal de prática sobre a regularidade numa academia de ginástica. Os 1573 indivíduos de ambos os sexos (masculinos: n= 840) com idade de 32.5±8.9 anos tiveram suas características definidas na avaliação funcional ao ingressar na academia. A frequên-cia média mensal (FMM) foi calculada com base no controle de acesso, sendo computado apenas um acesso/dia. Definiu-se "regularidade" como a permanência na academia por seis meses (ou mais) consecutivos. O impacto das características sobre a regularidade foi determinado por um modelo múltiplo de regressão logística. Faixa etária e FMM se mostraram associadas a uma maior probabilidade de regularidade. Tomando por referência os indivíduos com até 25 anos, os com idade entre 26 e 45 apresentaram maior chance de regularidade (OR: 1.67; IC95%: 1.19−2.34; p= 0.003), assim como aqueles acima de 45 anos (OR: 3.28; IC95%: 1.99−5.42; p< 0.001). FMM igual ou superior a oito dias apresentou probabilidade superior a 50% de se tornar regular, independente da faixa etária. Conclui-se que as características individuais podem ser utilizadas na deteção de indivíduos mais propensos a abandonar a prática, de modo a orientar intervenções para evitar esse abandono. Palavras-chave: aderência, exercício físico, frequência ABSTRACTThe study examined the impact of individual characteristics (gender, age, BMI, body fat percentage) and monthly frequency of practice on regular access to the gym. Anthropometric measures of 1573 subjects of both sexes (male: n = 840; age 32.5 ± 8.9 years) were assessed at the beginning of the exercises program. The Average Monthly Frequency (AMF) was calculated based on access control, being computed only one access/day. We defined "regular" the individual staying in the gym for six months (or more) consecutive. The impact of the characteristics on regularity was determined by a multiple logistic regression model. Age and AMF were associated with high probability of regularity. Taking as reference individuals up to 25 years, within age between 26 and 45 showed higher chances to be regular (OR: 1.67, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.34, p= 0.003), as well as those above 45 years (OR: 3.28, 95% CI 1.99 to 5.42, p<0.001). AMF equal to or higher than eight days showed 50% of probability to be regular, regardless of age. It is concluded that individual characteristics can be selected for the detection of individuals that are more likely to abandon exercises programs and to prevent dropout.
