“…Sánchez-Herrera et al, 2022; Zubizarreta-Cortadi et al, 2023). The Self-Determination Theory (SDT) (Deci & Ryan, 2000) stands out among these, as it approaches motivation from the viewpoint of physical exercise (Gil-Píriz et al According to Cambronero et al (2015), it is important to consider not only the reasons why university students engage in PA but also the reasons why they abandon it, such as lack of habit (Rodríguez & Sánchez, 2010) or lack of nearby sports facilities (Flores, 2009). It is also no less important to identify the reasons why this segment of the population has never engaged in any PA in their free time, which include lack of time (Castillo & In light of the above, the main objective of this study is to analyze the relationships between the reasons for engaging in PA and the levels of PA among university students according to gender and fields of study, with the aim of detecting the main reasons students engage in PA.…”

At present, despite the emphasis given to empirical studies on the benefits linked to the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, there are shortcomings when it comes to relating levels of physical activity with the reasons for practicing, especially in the university context. The aim was to analyse the relationships between the motives for physical activity and the levels of sports practice of university students according to gender and areas of study. The sample consisted of 1.524 first-year university students from different degrees at the University of Extremadura (Spain). The instruments used were the Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised (MPAM-R) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The most significant findings reveal significant differences in different variables according to gender in favour of men in the enjoyment dimension, in the social dimension, in competence, in the intensity of activity and in the self-determination index (p < .001). There are also significant differences in the branches of knowledge, related to enjoyment, health and in the self-determination index with p < .001, but also in competence (p < .05). El objetivo fue analizar las relaciones entre los motivos de práctica de actividad física y los niveles de práctica deportiva de los estudiantes universitarios en función del género y las áreas de estudio. La muestra estuvo formada por 1.524 estudiantes universitarios de primer curso de diferentes titulaciones de la Universidad de Extremadura (España). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised (MPAM-R) y el International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Los hallazgos más significativos revelan diferencias significativas en distintas variables en función del género a favor de los hombres en la dimensión disfrute, en la dimensión social, en la competencia, en la intensidad de realización de la actividad y en el índice de autodeterminación (p < .001). También existen diferencias significativas en las ramas de conocimiento, relacionadas con el disfrute, la salud y en el índice de autodeterminación con p < .001, pero también en la competencia (p < .05). O objetivo foi analisar as relações entre os motivos para a prática de atividade física e os níveis de prática desportiva dos estudantes universitários em função do sexo e das áreas de estudo. A amostra foi constituída por 1.524 estudantes universitários do primeiro ano de diferentes cursos da Universidade da Extremadura (Espanha). Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised (MPAM-R) e o International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Os resultados mais significativos revelam diferenças significativas em diferentes variáveis de acordo com o género, a favor dos homens na dimensão do prazer, na dimensão social, na competência, na intensidade da atividade e no índice de autodeterminação (p < .001). Existem também diferenças significativas nos ramos do conhecimento, relacionadas com o prazer, a saúde e no índice de auto-determinação com p < .001, mas também na competência (p < .05).

BackgroundObesity is a public health problem of alarming proportions, including among the university population in Latin America. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between the self-reported body mass index and the associated drug use and health-risk behaviors.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional, descriptive study of 3,311 Chilean university students (17–24 years). The variables weight, height, frequency of physical activity, diet quality index, and drug use were evaluated by way of a self-report questionnaire.Results16.7% of students were overweight and 2.1% were obese. Higher rates of overweight and obesity were observed in the men compared to women. There was a significant but moderate association between self-perceived obesity and being men and higher age, and just low with greater use of analgesics and tranquilizers with or without a prescription.ConclusionsThe punctual prevalence rates of self-reported obesity, in this sample, are consistent with other Latin American studies. The risk behaviors associated with perceived obesity in terms of gender, particularly the different pattern of drug use, highlight the importance of considering gender when designing strategies to promote health in a university setting.

ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el grado de asociación entre el contexto social (familia y amigos) y las características del entorno urbano de residencia con el nivel de actividad física de los estudiantes universitarios de Colima. En el estudio han participado 356 estudiantes de la Universidad de Colima, el 51.1% mujeres y el 48.9% hombres, con edad media de 20,98 ± 2,24 años. Se realizó un estudio transversal a través de una encuesta que evaluó la influencia del apoyo del entorno social afectivo y de las condiciones del entorno urbano en la práctica de actividad física habitual (cuestionario IPAQ versión corta) y de la actividad física y deportiva en el tiempo de ocio. Se han calculado las Odds Ratio (95% IC) a través de un modelo de regresión logística multinomial, ajustando la relación entre los indicadores estudiados a las variables sexo, edad y ciclo educativo. El contexto social y el entorno urbano condicionan el patrón de actividad física de los estudiantes universitarios de Colima.Palabras clave: Actividad física, apoyo social, familia, entorno, estudiantes universitarios. AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of association between social context (family and friends) and the characteristics of one´s residence with the physical activity levels of university students at Colima University, Mexico. The study included 356 students, 51.1% women and 48.9% men, with a mean age of 20.98 ± 2.24 years. A questionnaire (IPAQ, short version) was employed to evaluate physical activity patterns and to assess perceived social and family support. Home environmental characteristics were also determined by this questionnaire, and they comprised the influence of perceived neighbourhood safety, availability of transportation, proximity to sports facilities, and economic access to leisure physical activity settings. Odds ratios were calculated (95% CI) using a multinomial logistic regression model, using sex, age and education level as confounding variables. Residential context and perceived social support influences the physical activity patterns of college students in Colima.
