Resumo: The aim of this study is to analyse the behaviour of users of senior playgrounds (SP) and chart their profile. The methodology used was non-participant observation. The sample consisted of 129 users of SP present in the various moments of observation. The results indicate an increasing number of children and adults and a larger number of users on weekends. The duration of usage varied between 1 and 30 minutes and the most widely used pieces of equipment were surfing and ski. Despite the fact that SP are designed for the elderly, it seems that these do not use it much.

Apesar de os PG serem concebidos para os idosos, parece que estes não frequentam muito estas instalações.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2018-02-15T09:58:40Z2016-01-01T00:00:00Z2016info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/22169eng1516-2567Bettencourt, LilianaNeves, Ruiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:43:31Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/22169Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:56:24.351133Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
