Resumen

Los Clubes de Salud emergen como la ubicación preferida para el ejercicio físico, con Portugal exhibiendo asimetrías geográficas en su distribución. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los factores motivacionales y los determinantes sociodemográficos de los practicantes de ejercicio físico en el contexto de un Club de Salud. Treinta y cuatro individuos (24,7 ± 11,5 años) participaron en este estudio. Para evaluar los factores motivacionales, se utilizó la versión traducida y adaptada del Cuestionario de Motivación para el Ejercicio. Las dimensiones de "Bienestar", "Salud", "Control del Estrés" y "Apariencia/Estética" presentaron los valores más altos (puntuaciones promedio superiores a 4 puntos en una escala de Likert de 1-6), mientras que las dimensiones de "Valoración Personal" e "Historial Médico" fueron las menos valoradas (puntuaciones promedio inferiores a 3 puntos). Los individuos más jóvenes y solteros dieron más importancia a "Apariencia/Estética", mientras que los individuos mayores y casados atribuyeron más importancia a "Valoración Personal". Las mujeres hicieron más hincapié en "Condición Física". Los factores más motivadores se agrupan en las dimensiones de "Bienestar", "Salud", "Control del Estrés" y "Apariencia/Estética", mientras que los menos motivadores se encuentran en las dimensiones de "Valoración Personal" e "Historial Médico". Se encontró que la edad, el estado civil y el género son determinantes de algunas dimensiones de los factores motivacionales.

Abstract. Health Clubs emerge as the preferred location for physical exercise, with Portugal exhibiting geographical asymmetries in their distribution. This study aimed to analyze the motivational factors and sociodemographic determinants of physical exercise practitioners in a Health Club context. Thirty-four individuals (24,7 ± 11,5 years) participated in this study. To assess motivational factors, the translated and adapted version of the Exercise Motivation Questionnaire was used. Dimensions of "Well-being," "Health," "Stress Control," and "Appearance/Esthetics" presented the highest values (average ratings higher than 4 points on a 1-6 Likert scale), while "Personal Valuation" and "Medical History" dimensions were the least valued (average ratings lower than 3 points). Younger and single individuals placed more value on "Appearance/Esthetics," whereas older and married individuals attributed more importance to "Personal Valuation." Women placed more emphasis on "Physical Condition." The most motivating factors are grouped in the dimensions of "Well-being," "Health," "Stress Control," and "Appearance/Esthetics," while the least motivating factors are in the dimensions of "Personal Valuation" and "Medical History." Age, marital status, and gender were found to be determinants of some of motivational factors’ dimensions.
