Equipamentos de ginástica – satisfação e caracterização dos usuários

Résumé

The elderly population in the world is increasingly improving their quality of life through the advancement of medicine. For a good quality of life, physical activity is essential for maintaining and preserving the functional capacity of the elderly, bringing physical and mental health gains. However, to achieve such goals, it is necessary to have spaces that also include the elderly public. Around 2005 began to be installed some outdoor fitness centers, for the practice of physical exercise, for free and for the population. The purpose of this article is to characterize the elderly user, as well as to verify their satisfaction under the use of exercise equipment. Tests were performed with users divided into two parts, the first for characterization, verifying the social profile, and the second for satisfaction analysis, observing preferences and usability trends with the equipment. Most users are literate, retired, and all are active seniors. They have a preference for some specific equipment, but users have totally positive satisfaction about the equipment group, as they are intuitive, safe, comfortable and do not require great intensity in the exercises.
