“…In view of this, in addition to physical health, it is possible to state that the motivations for the practice of physical activities involve the daily interactions made possible by new collegial relationships and even friendships established throughout the activities, the search for well-being and for new knowledge, and the perspective of improving the quality of life through established bonds and shared experiences [ 17 ].…”

Background: The present study analyzed a gymnastics program offered by the Department of Sports and Leisure at a Brazilian city hall, representing an example of an effective and consolidated public policy. Main objective: The objective of this study was to understand the reasons for enrollment/joining (adhesion) and permanence (adherence) among female students in gymnastics groups in order to understand why this public policy has been taking place uninterruptedly for over thirty years and to characterize the quality of life of female gymnastics students. Methods: This is a case study that used mixed methods. As a quantitative method, the Portuguese version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life—Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-bref) questionnaire was used. As a qualitative method, the focus group technique was used. Thus, 239 women aged between thirty-five and seventy-four years old, who were students of the gymnastics program, participated in this research by answering the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire. Two classes were selected using the socioeconomic criterion of social classes in inverse situations to carry out one focus group session; then, twenty students belonging to the two classes were randomly selected. Results: It was verified that the public policy studied has led to an improvement in the quality of life of the students, with the benefits extending beyond physical health, and that in both groups adhesion occurred mainly due to the indication of students who already practiced, or due to medical indications. It was also found that, in both groups, the main reason for long-term adherence was the understanding of the gymnastics class as a space for sociability and a moment of leisure. Conclusion: Physical activity is an important health promotion strategy. In addition to its biological benefits, which are necessary for the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, it also improves health and quality of life through social and psychological benefits, characterizing it as an effective health care strategy from a biopsychosocial perspective.

O estudo objetiva analisar fatores motivacionais para a participação de idosos em programa de atividades físicas do Centro de Convivência da Terceira Idade, em Teresina/PI. A pesquisa, qualitativa e descritiva, considerou as narrativas de 30 idosos, de 60 e 87 anos, entre novembro e dezembro de 2015, que apontaram como aspectos motivacionais para participar de programas de exercícios físicos: a prevenção de doenças, a reabilitação e manutenção da saúde e o lazer, sendo a iniciação nas atividades motivada pela família, iniciativa própria e indicação médica. A melhoria da saúde, a diminuição de dores, o aumento da força, da resistência, da flexibilidade, a perda de peso corporal e a ampliação do círculo de amizades foram as principais repercussões dessa participação. Assim, a manutenção de um estilo de vida ativo durante o envelhecimento potencializa fatores psicossociais e melhora a qualidade da vida dos idosos.

A presente pesquisa investigou os estados de humor de mulheres idosos em diferentes contextos de vida e a percepção das mesmas quanto à importância do lazer em suas vidas. Participaram da amostra 32 idosas residentes de casas-lares e idosas inscritas nas aulas de artesanato de um Centro de Convivência de Idosos. Para avaliação psicológica utilizou-se instrumentos validados no Brasil e um questionário semiestruturado. Os resultados inferem que mulheres que vivem em casas-lares possuem maiores valores de depressão e menor qualidade de vida que mulheres não institucionalizadas e que apesar dos dois grupos terem em seu dia-a-dia atividades de lazer manual, físico-esportivo, o significado que aquelas que estão fora das instituições de longa permanência e que possuem um conhecimento de uma educação pelo e para o lazer dão a este construto é muito diferente daquela que não sabem o porquê de fazer este tipo de atividade.
