Abstract

Since the recommendations of moderate-to vigorous physical activity (PA) for health constitute important information to be shared in counseling practice, the present study was aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge of health professionals about the international PA recommendations for adults and elderly and to verify if there are associations between PA motivation with leisure time PA, readiness to change behavior and body mass index (BMI) of these professionals. In 2021, a questionnaire was applied remotely with health professionals from Brazilian health system. The survey had 34 participants, who answered sociodemographic and health questions, knowledge about international PA recommendations for adults and the elderly, PA duration, behavioral stage and motivations for PA practice. Of the five questions that assessed the knowledge of professionals, three had the highest prevalence of wrong answers, and professionals who have a more internal motivation to practice PA showed a significant association with reaching the minimum PA and eutrophic BMI recommendations. Professional qualification is important, together with encouragement to practice PA, through contents that consider internal motivations.
初级卫生保健专业人员关于身体活动建议和个人实践的知识
鉴于中等至剧烈体力活动(PA)的健康建议是咨询实践中需要分享的重要信息,本研究旨在评估健康专业人员对成人和老年人国际PA建议的知识水平,并验证这些专业人员的PA动机与休闲时间PA、改变行为的准备程度和体重指数(BMI)之间是否存在关联。2021年,与巴西卫生系统的卫生专业人员远程应用了一份问卷。该调查共有34名参与者,他们回答了社会人口学和健康问题、关于成人和老年人的国际PA建议的知识、PA持续时间、行为阶段和PA实践的动机。在评估专业人员知识的五个问题中,有三个问题的错误回答率最高,并且具有更多内在动机的专业人员与达到最低PA和富营养化BMI建议值显着相关。通过考虑内部动机的内容,专业资格和鼓励实践PA是很重要的。
