The following case study aims to analyze the experience of a Portuguese trans individual regarding their practice of physical exercise (PE) and sports in Portuguese gyms and sports clubs. A 30-min interview was conducted through the Zoom platform. Before the interview, four questionnaires-Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and EUROHIS-QOL 8-item index-were also applied, all in their Portuguese version. The interview was digitally video recorded after consent was obtained, transcribed verbatim, and subject to thematic analysis. Findings suggest positive values for satisfaction with life and quality of life. The values of positive affect were higher than those of negative affect, and there was an absence of depressive and anxious symptomatology. In the qualitative analysis, mental health was the main motive for the practice, while locker rooms separated by gender and university life were the main barriers mentioned. Mixed changing rooms were identified as facilitators of PE practice. This study highlights the importance of developing strategies for the creation of mixed changing rooms and sports teams in order to promote a comfortable and safe practice for all individuals.
以下案例研究旨在分析一名葡萄牙跨性别者在葡萄牙健身房和体育俱乐部进行体育锻炼（PE）及参与运动的经历。通过Zoom平台进行了一次30分钟的访谈。在访谈前，还应用了四份问卷——生活满意度量表（SWLS）、正负性情绪量表（PANAS）、医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）以及欧洲健康与生活质量8项指标问卷——均为葡萄牙语版本。在获得同意后，访谈进行了数字视频录制，逐字转录，并进行了主题分析。研究结果表明生活满意度和生活质量呈现正值。积极情绪的值高于消极情绪的值，且不存在抑郁和焦虑症状。在定性分析中，心理健康是进行体育锻炼的主要动机，而按性别划分的更衣室和大学生活是提及的主要障碍。混合更衣室被确定为体育锻炼的促进因素。本研究强调了制定策略以创建混合更衣室和运动队的重要性，以便为所有人促进舒适且安全的锻炼。
