Abstract
Background: Physical-sports habits in adulthood constitute one of the predictors of physical, psychological and social health within healthy lifestyles.
Methods: The Acquired Healthy Lifestyle Assessment Scale was applied to a sample of 788 subjects between the ages of 22 and 72 and the dimension that makes up physical-sports practice habits was analyzed.
Results: 74.4% of adults have habits of physical-sports practice that are not healthy or unhealthy, 18.8% tend towards health and only 6.9% are healthy. Pearson's 2 tests show a significant association between men and healthy habits, without observing changes associated with the age variable. The t-Student and one-factor ANOVA tests confirm the relationship between the level of health and physical-sports practice habits depending on sex and age.
Conclusions: It is necessary to promote preventive programs to increase participation in the practice of physical and sports exercise in the adult population that has unhealthy or unhealthy levels of lifestyle.
