Resumen

O exercício físico é uma atividade cujos benefícios à saúde foram promovidos pelos correspondentes profissionais de saúde e instituições sociais. No entanto, como os níveis de prática não são ideais, variáveis subjetivas —que fazem senti-do, fornecem continuidade e podem aumentar a adesão ao exercício— precisam ser estudadas em profundidade. Nesse sentido, o treinamento físico é analisado como uma forma de lazer sério, o hobby centrado no corpo - uma maneira de praticar e se relacionar com a atividade que leva seus praticantes a aderir mais a ele, orientando-os para uma carreira em aquisições e expressão de habilidades, conhecimentos e experiências. Um total de 1. 134 pessoas (588 homens, 546 mulhe-res) que fizeram treinamento físico, com idades entre 18 e 70 anos (M = 34,7, DT = 13,06) responderam a um questionário sobre o tempo de exercício como lazer sério, bem como seus benefícios derivados e complementares. O coeficiente t de Student e a ANOVA permitiram mostrar as diferenças entre os escores dos diferentes benefícios do exercício de acordo com as variáveis contempladas no estudo. Os resultados destacam que o exercício físico como lazer sério é uma atividade cujo investimento no tempo semanal faz com que ele adquira um papel central quando é recompensado pela sensação de conquista, contato com os outros, melhoria da saúde e estar ao ar livre com a família. Para concluir, este estudo mostra que conceber o treinamento físico como um hobby centrado no corpo —compartilhando os princípios do lazer sério— implica uma nova abordagem para a análise do exercício físico e também sugere novas maneiras de promovê-lo.
