El proposito del siguiente estudio es describir las caracteristicas fisicas y el nivel de intencion de cambio hacia la actividad fisica de los padres o encargados de los ninos que asistieron a los cursos de verano en la Universidad de Costa Rica. Participaron 52 personas quienes aceptaron responder un cuestionario. Se encontro que un 28.9% presentaba problemas de adiposidad; el 60% realizaba ejercicios fisicos variados y el 36% no participaba de un programa de ejercicios regulares. Se hallo que el 53.8% tenia disposicion de hacer ejercicio en los proximos 6 meses, aunque el 46.1% no pretendia o no sabia si lo realizaria. Se logro clasificar el 40.4% de los sujetos, dentro de las etapas del modelo trans-teorico de cambio de comportamiento. Ademas este estudio permitio determinar que existe una proporcion importante de personas que presenta adiposidad o sobrepeso y que existe tambien una falta de motivacion para mejorar el estilo de vida, en los sujetos que no pretenden o no saben si van a hacer ejercicio en los proximos meses. Por ultimo, el 10% de los participantes nunca ha practicado ejercicio fisico de forma regular, lo que implica posibles riesgos en su salud. El modelo trans- teorico podria utilizarse no solo para tamizar a la poblacion, sino tambien para proponer objetivos y metas que ayuden en la adherencia al ejercicio fisico. The purpose of the study was to describe to the physical characteristics and the level of intention for change towards physical activity of the parents or legal guardians of children who attended summer camps at the University of Costa Rica. Fifty-two adults voluntarily accepted to respond a questionnaire. Main results indicated that 28.9% displayed adiposity problems; 60% were engaged in physical exercises, and 36% did not participate in a regular program. Also, 53.8% intended to engage in physical exercise in next six months; however, 46.1% indicated that they did not try or did not know if they would engage in such a program. From the sample, 65.4% exercised previously, but 10 % never made it regularly. Only 21 subjects (40.4%) were classified in a stage according to the trans-theoretical model of change behavior. This study allowed determining that an important proportion of people displayed obesity and/or overweight, and that there is a lack of motivation to engage in physical activities in order to improve their lifestyle. Finally, 10% of the participants had never practiced physical exercise regularly, which guaranties further health risks in the long term. The trans-theoretical model of behavior change could be used not only to classify subjects in the population, but also to propose objectives and goals to guarantee exercise adherence.
