Resumen

QUEIROGA, Marcos Roberto et al. Characterization of the physical environment and practice of physical activities in Primary Health Care Units in Guarapuava, Paraná State, Brazil, 2011-2012. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.4, pp.827-836. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742016000400016.

OBJECTIVE:

to characterize the physical environment and physical activity (PA) in Primary Health Care Units (PHU) in the urban area of Guarapuava-PR, Brazil, 2011-2012.

METHODS:

this is a descriptive study in which the coordinators of the municipality's 27 PHUs were interviewed about violence, crime and physical space and safety conditions for PAs inside and outside the PHUs; the streets surrounding the area were visited to evaluate environmental factors categorized as favorable or unfavorable to PA deployment and practice.

RESULTS:

the most common places for PA were grass areas (n=18) and churches (n=24); three fifths of PHUs presented factors favorable to PA deployment/practice; lack of sidewalks (14 PHUs) or uneven sidewalks (13 PHUs) surrounding the PHUs are conditions that could jeopardize the practice of walking.

CONCLUSION:

despite the identification of favorable factors for PA practice, at PHUs should be focused by health service managers.
