Resum

Son escasos los estudios que analizan los determinantes y patrones de práctica de actividad física en universitarios, no pudiéndose realizar intervenciones eficaces para promocionar dicha práctica. El objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en analizar las asociaciones entre diversos determinantes personales, sociales y ambientales, la práctica de actividad física actual y la intención futura de práctica, en una muestra de 639 universitarios (321 hombres y 318 mujeres), con una edad media de 21.43 años (± 2.78). La forma física percibida, la historia de actividad física previa y el apoyo del técnico/entrenador a practicar actividad física tienen un efecto directo sobre la práctica de actividad física e indirecto sobre la intención futura de práctica, en hombres y mujeres. La actividad física practicada también tiene un efecto directo sobre la intención futura. Además, en los hombres, la participación en competiciones deportivas predice la práctica de actividad física y la intención futura de práctica, mientras en el grupo de mujeres el ser miembro de un club deportivo determina la práctica actual y la intención futura de práctica.
