Resumen

Introducción: La realización de actividad física (AF) es de una indudable importancia social dado sus efectos positivos sobre la salud. Este trabajo pretende analizar los determinantes de la AF de individuos de 50-70 años. Metodología: Se emplea un estudio observacional transversal a partir de una muestra de españoles entre 50 y 70 años. Se analizan los determinantes de la AF en el tiempo libre y el total de AF mediante modelos probit ordenados, incluyendo las características sociodemográficas, de percepción de la salud física, del estado emocional y del apoyo social. Resultados: Los determinantes del total de AF y la AF realizada en el tiempo libre son distintos. La realización de un mínimo de AF en el tiempo libre está relacionada positivamente con ser hombre (p<0.01) y tener estudios secundarios (p<0.02), la participación de la pareja (p<0.01) y una buena satisfacción ante la vida (p<0.01); y negativamente con el estatus laboral (p<0.01). Por otro lado, altos niveles de AF están asociados a ser mujer (p<0.01), el estatus laboral (p<0.05), el nivel de salud percibida (p<0.01) y la participación de la pareja (p<0.01). Conclusiones: En el caso de los hombres, es importante incrementar la AF en otros ámbitos fuera del tiempo libre. En el caso de la mujer, el apoyo social resulta necesario para alcanzar unos niveles saludables de AF. Finalmente, el efecto de la socialización y el apoyo social extrínseco resultan variables relevantes que plantean la necesidad de desarrollar políticas de promoción teniendo en cuenta la situación familiar y de la pareja.
