Abstract—The present study aimed to identify the exercise motives according to selected socio-demographic
indicators in university students. The sample was comprised of 2,380 individuals (1,213 men and 1,167 women)
aged between 18 and 35 years. The exercise motives were identified with the Portuguese-translated version of the
Exercise Motivations Inventory (EMI-2). University students gave significantly greater importance to exercise for
reasons identified as Disease Prevention. Factors that are less relevant in statistical language were identified in a
context of motivation associated with Social Recognition and Competition. Sex, age, family economic class, experience
with exercise and body weight had a significant effect on the level of importance of exercise among university
students. In conclusion, the results found can contribute to the development of physical activity promotion
programs and a possible reduction in the number of dropouts among university students.
Keywords: motivation, EMI-2, physical activity, young adult
Resumo—“Motivos para a prática de exercício físico em uma amostra de universitários brasileiros.” Objetivo do
estudo foi identificar os motivos que podem induzir universitários a praticar exercício físico, de acordo com
selecionados indicadores sociodemográficos. Amostra foi constituída por 2380 sujeitos (1213 moças e 1167 rapazes),
com idades entre 18 e 35 anos. Motivos para prática de exercício físico foram identificados mediante versão
traduzida do Exercise Motivations Inventory (EMI-2). Os universitários reportaram oferecer significativamente
maior importância para a prática de exercício físico em motivos identificados com Prevenção de Doenças. Os
fatores de menor destaque em linguagem estatística se identificaram em um contexto de motivação relacionada ao
Reconhecimento Social e à Competição. Sexo, idade, classe econômica familiar, experiência de prática e status de
peso corporal revelaram efeito significativo no grau de importância apontado pelos universitários para a prática de
exercício físico. Concluindo, resultados encontrados poderão contribuir para delinear programas de promoção de
exercício físico e provável redução dos casos de abandono entre os universitários.
