Resumo: The current stage of civilization is distinguished by an increase of the number of elderly people, which results in the conduction of researches on the subject. Investigations about physical activity also rise, especially focusing on an epidemiological perspective. In this scenario, new studies bring alternatives to this hegemonic view, such as humanized physical activity. The present study has aimed to analyze the meanings of the practice for physically active elderly living in Fortaleza-Ce. Considering the scientific research method, a qualitative matrix has been the choice. Eighteen elderly men and women participated in the research, 12 females and six males, with a mean age of 69.8±6,92 years. The investigation was carried out in an association and in a private university, which have physical activity projects with the investigated public. For the data collection, in-depth interviews have been conducted, analyzed by the IRaMuTeQ software. As of the results, socialization, biological benefits, the daily move, the reduction of illnesses and a healthy life were the meanings the elderly have reported relating to the habit of physical activity. Therefore, it’s possible to infer that the speeches of those elderly have been run through by aspects of the epidemiologic perspective, keeping limited connections with the subjective point of view.

Ganham corpo, outrossim, investigações sobre a atividade física, principalmente, atendo-se ao viés epidemiológico. Nesse sentido, novos estudos criam alternativas a essa visão hegemônica, como a atividade física humanizada. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar os significados da prática de atividade física para idosos, fisicamente ativos, residentes em Fortaleza-CE. No que se refere aos aportes metodológicos, optou-se pela matriz de natureza qualitativa. Participram da pesquisa 18 idosos de ambos os sexos, 12 indivíduos do sexo feminino e seis do sexo masculino, com idade média de 69,8 ±6,9 anos. A investigação foi realizada numa agremiação e numa universidade privada, que dispõem de projetos de atividades físicas com o público investigado. Para a coleta dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, analisadas pelo software IRaMuTeQ. Como resultados, pôde-se notar serem a socialização, as melhorias orgânicas, o movimento diário, a minimização de doenças e a vida saudável os principais significados atribuídos pelos idosos à prática de atividade física. Conclui-se, pois, serem os discursos dos participantes perpassados por aspectos do viés epidemiológico, guardando modestas relações com o prisma subjetivo. Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2021-08-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/5600110.4025/jphyseduc.v32i1.3273Journal of Physical Education; Vol 32 No 1 (2021): Journal of Physical Education; e-3273Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 32 Núm. 1 (2021): Journal of Physical Education; e-3273Journal of Physical Education; v. 32 n. 1 (2021): Journal of Physical Education; e-32732448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/56001/751375152510Copyright (c) 2021 Journal of Physical Education https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca Halley, GustavoGonçalves Maciel, Marcosde Freitas Melo , Cynthia Clerton de Oliveira Martins, José2021-10-25T13:02:04Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/56001Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2021-10-25T13:02:04Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false
