The social changes we have been experiencing in recent years are generating anxiety that, together with sedentary lifestyles and poor health habits, are leading to premature ageing of society, in addition to the high rates of obesity and associated morbidity. In order to improve the lifestyles of the university community, the objective of this research project was the implementation of the UAL Activa programme based on physical activity. The beneficiaries were UAL staff from different sections, a total of 68 participants aged between 28 and 61 years ( = 49.36). Additionally, a total of 12 final year students of the degree in physical activity and sport sciences were responsible for designing and developing the exercise tasks. In-depth interviews were held with the participants of this project about the different benefits that their participation had brought them. The results obtained from the analysis with Nvivo v.10. showed five thematic blocks on the perceived improvements in physical fitness, physical condition, mood and emotional state, assessment of the new lifestyle, and social relations. In conclusion, the benefits of physical activity and the need to continue implementing action and intervention plans to encourage and promote its practice in all sectors of the population were highlighted.
近年来，我们经历的社会变革引发了焦虑，加上久坐不动的生活方式和不良的健康习惯，导致社会过早老龄化，肥胖率和相关发病率居高不下。为了改善大学生群体的生活方式，本研究项目的目标是在体育活动的基础上实施 UAL Activa 计划。受益人为来自不同部门的 UAL 员工，共有 68 名年龄在 28 至 61 岁之间的参与者（=49.36）。此外，共有 12 名体育活动和运动科学专业的大四学生负责设计和开展锻炼任务。对该项目的参与者进行了深入访谈，了解他们参与活动带来的不同益处。使用 Nvivo v.10 进行的分析得出了五个主题模块，分别是对身体素质、身体状况、情绪和情感状态、新生活方式评估以及社会关系的感知改善。总之，强调了体育活动的益处，以及需要继续实施行动和干预计划，以鼓励和促进各年龄段人群参与体育活动。
