“…Normalmente, o envolvimento com o trabalho e estudos tem forte relação com a administração do tempo, enquanto que a desmotivação pode sugerir a necessidade de suporte social ou mesmo questões cognitivas, como a auto eficácia. Estes determinantes da desistência são bastante reportados na literatura, em que a disponibilidade de tempo, a família e o apoio social parecem implicar na desistência à atividade física 20 .
