Differences in economic and social aspects between Brazilian states/regions can determine participation in running. The purpose of this study was to identify the occurrence of the OUTrun (i.e., Out Running), mapping the main routes carried out by runners, as well as the factors associated with this behavior between different Brazilian regions. The sample comprised 1053 runners of both sexes (women: 426; men: 627) who answered an online questionnaire, providing information related to individual, socioeconomic (SES), and training characteristics. A logistic regression analysis was computed, considering the regions. South and Southeast regions received the largest number of runners; runners from the North and Northeast regions were those who left their states the most to compete. Factors related to the OUTrun were the preferred distance, SES, and age. The results provide information to facilitate access to running events and can provide benefits related to making the practice accessible to a larger number of people.
巴西各州/地区在经济和社会方面的差异可能会影响人们参与跑步的意愿。本研究旨在确定 OUTrun(即外出跑步)的发生情况,绘制跑步者主要的跑步路线,并分析不同地区跑步者的行为与相关因素。该研究的样本包括 1053 名男女跑步者(女性:426 名;男性:627 名),他们回答了一份在线问卷,提供了与个人、社会经济(SES)和训练特征相关的信息。考虑到地区因素,我们进行了逻辑回归分析。南部和东南部地区吸引了最多的跑步者;而来自北部和东北部地区的跑步者则是最常离开本州参加比赛的。与 OUTrun 相关的因素包括首选距离、SES 和年龄。研究结果为人们参加跑步活动提供了信息,有助于使更多的人能够参与到跑步运动中来。
