Resumen
BLANCO ORNELAS, José René et al. Barreras para la práctica de ejercicio físico en universitarios mexicanos deportistas y no deportistas. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.3, pp.87-87. ISSN 2314-2561. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142561e087.
The aim of this research was to determine the differences and similarities between Mexican university students who practice a sport on a regular basis and those who do not in terms of their profiles of barriers for practicing physical exercise. The total sample was of 1223 university students of 18-36 years of age; 593 of them practice some sport and participate regularly in tournaments or sports competitions. The research is framed within a quantitative approach with a survey descriptive design. All the participants answered the Barriers Self-Report for the Physical Exercise Practice of Niñerola and collaborators. Results from the multivariate analysis of variance, followed by the univariate variance analysis, showed university students who do not regularly practice a sport are those who report the greatest presence of barriers in the four dimensions studied (physical and social anxiety, fatigue or laziness, obligations and lack of time and facilities). The differences found seem to indicate that the non-athletic university students perceive greater probability in the presence of barriers to the practice of physical exercise, making it difficult for them to practice physical activity more than those who practice a sport on a regular basis.
