Resumo
Objetivo: Esta dissertação teve como objetivo principal analisar hipóteses de associação
entre a motivação e utilização de Apps e equipamentos de medição da atividade física por
parte de indivíduos adultos.que utilizam aparelhos de medição e Apps.
Método: O trabalho foi dividido em duas partes: na primeira parte, foi efetuada uma revisão
sistemática da literatura, na qual se procurou analisar a utilização de aplicações móveis no
contexto motivacional relacionado com a prática de atividade física; seguidamente, foi
realizado um estudo observacional com uma amostra de 148 indivíduos. A recolha dos dados
foi efetuada recorrendo ao Google Forms com respostas a questionários motivacionais, sobre
os níveis habituais de atividade física e a utilização de equipamentos de medição e aplicações
móveis na prática de atividade física em adultos.
Resultados: Na Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL) rápida verificaram-se fatores
preponderantes que promovem a saúde e o bem-estar dos indivíduos. As estratégias
utilizadas para promover a saúde e o bem-estar são objeto de análise na maioria dos estudos
selecionados nesta revisão de literatura. No estudo observacional transversal, ao analisar as
diferenças do género dos participantes, verificou-se que: (1) na utilização de aplicações
móveis para a atividade física, que, estimula motivação, satisfação e frustração das
Necessidades Psicológicas Básicas (NPB), e que os homens apresentam valores mais altos
do que as mulheres na satisfação da NPB autonomia; (2) as mulheres apresentam valores
superiores de motivações extrínsecas e frustração na sua competência. Verificou-se,
também, que para ambos os géneros, existe uma associação entre a motivação, a atividade
física e os níveis de utilização de equipamentos de medição e Apps.
Conclusões: A utilização de aplicações móveis e equipamentos de medição da atividade
física pode motivar o indivíduo a desenvolver níveis habituais de atividade física, trazendo
vantagens para a sua saúde e bem-estar. Neste estudo foi possível verificar as hipóteses
propostas em análise tendo-se constatado existir uma associação entre a utilização de
aplicações móveis e equipamentos de medição e a motivação para a atividade físicana
população. Com a continuidade da utilização de Apps que medem os diferentes dados de
atividade física seria muito importante a continuação de pesquisas e estudos acerca deste
temaenfatizando as utilizações destes aparelhos para perceber melhor a junção que existe
entre todas as variáveis motivacionais relacionadas para a prática de atividade física.
Objective: The main objective of this dissertation was to analyze hypotheses of association between the motivation and use of Apps and equipment for measuring physical activity by adult individuals, who use measuring devices and Apps Method: The work was divided into two parts: in the first part, a systematic review of the literature was carried out, in which we sought to analyze the use of mobile applications in the motivational context related to the practice of physical activity; then, an observational study was conducted with a sample of 148 individuals. Data collection was performed using Google Forms with responses to motivational questionnaires, on the usual levels of physical activity and the use of measuring equipment and mobile applications in the practice of physical activity in adults. Results: : In the rapid Systematic Literature Review (RSL) there were preponderant factors that promote the health and well-being of individuals. The strategies used to promote health and well-being are the object of analysis in most studies selected in this literature review. In the cross-sectional observational study, when analyzing the gender differences of the participants, it was found that: in the use of mobile applications for physical activity, which stimulates motivation, satisfaction and frustration of Basic Psychological Needs (NPB), and that men present higher values than women in the satisfaction of NPB autonomy; women have higher values of extrinsic motivations and frustration in their competence. It was also found that for both genders, there is an association between motivation, physical activity and levels of use of measuring equipment and Apps. Conclusions: The use of mobile applications and physical activity measurement equipment can motivate the individual to develop usual levels of physical activity, bringing advantages to his health and well-being. In this study it was possible to verify the hypotheses proposed under analysis, finding an association between the use of mobile applications and measuring equipment and the motivation for physical activity in the population. With the continued use of Apps that measure the different physical activity data it would be very important to continue research and studies on this topic emphasizing the uses of these devices to better understand the junction that exists among all motivational variables related to the practice of physical activity.With the continued use of Apps that measure the different physical activity data it would be very important to continue research and studies with this theme emphasizing the uses of these devices to better understand the junction that exists between all motivational variables related to the practice of physical activity.
