A nossa amostra foi composta por 13 sujeitos entre os 21 e 35 anos, praticantes e não praticantes de exercício físico, e foi recolhida no norte de Portugal. Usamos como método de recolha de dados a entrevista centrada no problema. Através do processo de codificação e categorização, obtivemos 7 constructos que identificámos como barreiras: falta de tempo; desinteresse / aversão pelo exercício físico; incompetência; suporte familiar / pares; estereótipos / preconceitos sexuais; falta ou insuficiência de infra-estruturas / falta de condições; carência de recursos económicos / monetários. Seria interessante que um estudo de natureza quantitativa procurasse confirmar as nossas hipóteses numa amostra de maior proporções e abrangente.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the barriers to the practice of physical exercise in a sample of adults. Our sample was composed of 13 participants between 21 and 35 years old, practitioners and nonpractitioners of physical exercise residing in the north of Portugal. The data collection method was the interview focused on the problem. Applying the coding and categorization processes, we identified seven constructs. They were: lack of time; disinterest by the exercise/aversion; incompetence; family support/couples support; stereotypes/sex prejudices; lack or insufficiency of infrastructure/lack of terms; lack of economic resources/money. It would be interesting that a study of a quantitative nature seek to confirm our assumptions on the adult population.]]></p></abstract>
