The purpose of this study was to cross-sectionally estimate the prevalence of recreational running in Portugal and describe characteristics of adult recreational runners. A random representative sample of 1068 Portuguese adults was selected. Socio-demographic information, physical activity habits and running behavior were assessed. Recreational runners' training habits, motivations, barriers, vitality and flow were also assessed. The prevalence of recreational running in Portugal was 10.6%. It was higher in men (14.6% vs. 6.6%, p = .024) and in younger runners (13.6% vs. 7.7%, p = .026). Participants ran on average 3 times, 20 kilometers and 3 hours per week. General health orientation (88%), self-esteem (63%), and life meaning (57%) were the most predominant motives for running, while time was the most prevalent barrier (43%). This first Portuguese running prevalence representative study, indicates that almost 11% of adults ran regularly, and describes correlates of running, which can inform future running promotion interventions.
这项研究的目的是横截面上估计葡萄牙的休闲跑步流行率,并描述成年休闲跑步者的特征。随机选择了 1068 名葡萄牙成年人的代表性样本。评估了社会人口统计学信息、身体活动习惯和跑步行为。还评估了休闲跑步者的训练习惯、动机、障碍、活力和流畅感。葡萄牙休闲跑步的流行率为 10.6%。男性(14.6%比 6.6%,p =.024)和年轻跑步者(13.6%比 7.7%,p =.026)的发生率更高。参与者平均每周跑 3 次,每次 20 公里,每次 3 小时。一般健康取向(88%)、自尊(63%)和生活意义(57%)是跑步的最主要动机,而时间是最普遍的障碍(43%)。这是第一项针对葡萄牙跑步流行率的代表性研究,表明近 11%的成年人经常跑步,并描述了与跑步相关的因素,这些因素可以为未来的跑步促进干预提供信息。
