Resumo
O uso de bicicletas está relacionado a diversos benefícios à saúde física e mental de seus usuários. Nos últimos anos, o número de ciclistas recreacionais tem aumentado expressivamente, o que torna relevante compreender os aspectos motivacionais envolvidos com essa prática. A motivação está diretamente relacionada a pensamentos, sentimentos e comportamentos que guiam o indivíduo à realização de uma atividade específica Nesse processo, a autonomia que compreende os esforços pessoais envolvidos na participação voluntária de atividade específica tem uma importante função. Desse modo, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar quais as características da motivação em praticantes de ciclismo recreacional com maior e menor índice de motivação. Para isso, praticantes regulares de ciclismo recreacional (mínimo de 6 meses de prática), com 18 anos ou mais, de ambos os sexos, foram convidados a participar do estudo, por meio das redes de contato dos pesquisadores. A coleta de dados foi feita através de três questionários, estruturados na plataforma Google Forms, que foram respondidos remotamente. Os questionários foram: Questionário de Investigação do perfil do ciclista, Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) e Inventário de Motivação à Prática Regular de Atividade Física (IMPRAF-54). Os ciclistas foram organizados de forma crescente de acordo com o índice de autonomia calculado a partir do questionário BREQ-3 e foram posteriormente separados em 2 grupos com igual número de participantes (n=26/grupo): aqueles com menores valores de índice de autonomia (grupo 1), e os participantes com valores maiores (grupo 2). A partir dessa divisão, foram avaliados os demais aspectos motivacionais e de características de prática do ciclismo. Os resultados foram expressos como média + desvio padrão. A análise estatística utilizada foi o teste t-student não pareado, com nível de significância adotado de p<0,05. Resultados: o perfil dos ciclistas de ambos os grupos foi semelhante. O grupo de ciclistas com maior índice de autonomia obteve maior pontuação (p>0.05) nos escores de saúde, sociabilidade e prazer do questionário IMPRAF-54. Conclusão: entre os ciclistas com maior índice de autonomia, os aspectos motivacionais mais importantes foram saúde, sociabilidade e prazer relacionado à prática da atividade.
The use of bicycles is associated with various benefits for the physical and mental health of its users. In recent years, the number of recreational cyclists has increased significantly, making it relevant to understand the motivational aspects involved in this practice. Motivation is directly related to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that guide an individual to engage in a specific activity. In this process, autonomy, which encompasses the personal efforts involved in voluntarily participating in a specific activity, plays an important role. Thus, this research aimed to analyze the motivational characteristics of recreational cyclists with high and low levels of motivation. To this end, regular recreational cyclists (with at least 6 months of practice), aged 18 or older, of both sexes, were invited to participate in the study through the researchers' contact networks. Data collection was conducted using three questionnaires, structured on the Google Forms platform, which were answered remotely. The questionnaires included: Cyclist Profile Investigation Questionnaire, Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3), and Inventory of Motivation for Regular Physical Activity Practice (IMPRAF-54). Cyclists were organized in ascending order according to the autonomy index calculated from the BREQ-3 questionnaire and were subsequently divided into 2 groups with an equal number of participants (n=26/group): those with lower autonomy index values (Group 1) and those with higher values (Group 2). Based on this division, other motivational aspects and characteristics of cycling practice were evaluated. Results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The statistical analysis used was the unpaired t-test, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results: the profiles of cyclists in both groups were similar. The group of cyclists with higher autonomy index achieved higher scores (p>0.05) in health, sociability, and pleasure on the IMPRAF-54 questionnaire. Conclusion: among cyclists with higher autonomy index, the most important motivational aspects were health, sociability, and pleasure related to the practice of the activity.
