ROMERO-DIAZ, Sol Angie et al. SELF-DETERMINED MOTIVATION FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ITS CORRELATION WITH THE BODY COMPOSITION OF A COHORT OF ADULTS WITH OVERWEIGHT. Investig. andina [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.39, pp.169-183. Epub 01-Fev-2021. ISSN 0124-8146.
Introduction:
Motivation leads people to carry out actions in order to achieve a goal or objective. This study tried to examine the correlation between self-determined motivation for physical activity and physical composition, in a cohort of overweight adults.
Method:
We used the tool BREW 2 of self-report and anthopometry was measured with an ISAK 1 techinician. Body composition was measured with a Tanita BC 420 scale.
Results:
46% (n=18) of patients were women and 54% (n=21) were men. The average age was 31 ±, MMI: 25 ± 3 kg/m2, muscular mass 49 ± 9%, fat, 27 ± 16%, waist circumference 80 ± 7cm, hip 98 ± 6cm, CCI 0.8 ± 0.05 cm.
Conclusions:
we observed a negative correlation among anthropometric variables, such as MMI and CCI with the rate of self-determination in women. Evaluating the self-determined motivation must be the base to program any physical activity in an overweight population.
