En el presente artículo se recogen las conclusiones de un estudio que analiza la relación entre la práctica físico-deportiva de los usuarios de centros deportivos públicos de la ciudad de Terrassa (provincia de Barcelona) y la calidad de vida percibida por los mismos, estudio realizado sobre una muestra de 674 usuarios practicantes de actividad física en ocho centros deportivos públicos abiertos en el momento de la recogida de información. Analizando la variable calidad de vida percibida, el equipo investigador ha logrado definir perfiles de usuarios de los centros deportivos públicos de Terrassa y medir cómo éstos perciben su calidad de vida, habiendo podido distinguir colectivos que no están siendo atendidos actualmente por tales centros deportivos o que lo están siendo de manera incorrecta o insuficiente. Las conclusiones del estudio permitirán al Ayuntamiento de Terrassa una mejor orientación de su política pública en materia de actividad físico-deportiva, en función de las características de sus usuarios/clientes y de su percepción sobre el impacto que tal actividad físico-deportiva practicada en las condiciones actuales tiene en su calidad de vida percibida, es decir, en función de la demanda actual y latente.Abstract. This study analyzes the relationship between the physical-sports practice of users of public sports centers in the city of Terrassa and their perceived quality of life, in a sample of 674 users who practice physical activity in eight public sports centers open at the time of the data collection. Analyzing the variable “perceived quality of life”, the research team managed to define user profiles of the public sports centers of Terrassa and measure how they perceive their quality of life, defining groups that are either not currently being attended or that are being improperly treated by the current centers. This will allow the City Council to orient its public policy in the area of physical and sports activity, given the characteristics of its users / customers and the perceived quality of life, that is, based on current and latent demand.

Perceived Quality Of Life

Faced with the demonstrated need to engage in physical activity (PA), lack of time is the argument commonly used to justify low or non-existent levels of PA. Underlying this argument, the accomplishment of procrastination behaviour seems to be related to the less time dedicated to practicing PA and the low perception of the quality of life. With this in mind, the purpose of this study is to show that dedicating different amounts of time to PA affects the perceived quality of life and the widespread problem of procrastination. We hypothesise that greater time investment in PA is related to greater perceived quality of life and less procrastination. In all, 621 practitioners of PA (347 men, 274 women) between 18 and 83 years old (M = 35.43, SD = 14.45) filled out validated versions of the World Health Organization quality of life assessment (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Pure Procrastination Scale. Results showed that people who do enough PA have a more positive perception of the quality of life in the domains of physical and psychological health; this perception, in turn, is related to lower levels of procrastination. Likewise, socio-demographic characteristics such as gender and the main activity presented significant associations with various quality of life domains and procrastination. In sum, the benefits of improvements in quality of life and reductions in procrastination identified in this study are sensitive to the time spent on PA, which suggests that a strategy to promote the practice of PA would improve time management and, thus, counteract procrastination.

En el artículo se describen y analizan los resultados de un estudio realizado para investigar la relación entre la práctica físico-deportiva y la calidad de vida percibida (CVP). La muestra del estudio estuvo integrada por un colectivo de ciudadanos (968), pacientes de Atención Primaria, entrevistados mientras se encontraban en las salas de espera, de cuatro Centros de Atención Primaria (CAP) de la ciudad de Terrassa. Los objetivos del estudio fueron: 1) Evaluar la relación entre la percepción de calidad de vida y la actividad físico-deportiva; 2) Verificar si, en tal percepción, hay diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres. Las conclusiones fueron las siguientes: Existe una percepción mejor de la calidad de vida entre los usuarios que realizan actividad físico-deportiva que entre los pacientes sedentarios, sea la actividad moderada o intensa. Las mujeres que realizan actividad físico-deportiva mejoran su percepción de Calidad de Vida en mayor grado que los hombres. Las mujeres mejoran su CVP en el ámbito social y los hombres en el ámbito físico, por lo que la práctica deportiva es una fuente de la socialización de las mujeres. Abstract. The article describes and analyzes the results of a study carried out to investigate the relationship between physical-sports practice and perceived quality of life (QOL). The study sample was made up of a group of citizens (968), Primary Care patients, interviewed while they were in the waiting rooms of four Primary Care Centers (CAP) in the city of Terrassa. The objectives of the study were: 1) To evaluate the relationship between the perception of quality of life and physical-sports activity; 2) Verify if, in such perception, there are significant differences between men and women. The conclusions were as follows: There is a better perception of the quality of life among users who perform physical-sports activity than among sedentary patients, be it moderate or intense activity. Women who perform physical-sports activity improve their perception of Quality of Life to a greater degree than men. Women improve their CVP in the social sphere and men in the physical sphere, so sports practice is a source of women's socialization.
