Abstract

A mixed method study with a qualitative approach that implement the snowball technique. The study was developed in Bahia, Brazil, between January/2014 and September/2015. It was aimed at identifying the factors that lead people to non-adherence to regular physical activity. The results showed that the reasons were related to health problems, difficulty in getting a medical certificate, unavailability because of family demands and low motivation. We conclude that this knowledge is necessary for the delineation of management and planning in healthcare, in the sense of guiding new health promotion strategies as a result of high rates of chronic non-communicable diseases in our reality.
