“…About 31% of participants reported not knowing how to use OGs devices and 47.9% reported not controlling the use of equipment, and always using the same devices; 16% reported feeling discomfort during use. The 69% needed instruction to exercise; 23% reported having received instruction during the practical intervention (Costa et al, 2016).…”

The outdoor gyms have risen exponentially during the last years as a way of revitalizing public areas to enhance the practice of physical activity by insufficiently active older people. However, little is known about their use patterns that might help to maximize its benefits. To know the outdoor gyms profile, an exhaustive scientific literature review was made on research databases (WOS, Scopus, SportDiscus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library Plus, PubMed, Proquest Dissertations and Theses, and Google Scholar). Only 24 studies met the selection criteria of the 17,035 gathered. In general, outdoor gyms were used 3-5 days per week. They are 10-20 min away from users' home and distance was between 500 and 2007 m. Most activities on outdoor gyms were a supplement of other main PA. More rigorous study designs (intervention programs) are needed. It is necessary to operate in a community setting with local government. Current studies have indicated the existence of potential safety risks due to inappropriate usage behaviours. The most demanded improvements were more instructors, benches, variety devices, small roofs over the equipment, toilets, maintenance, lighting the area, security city guards, better promotion and placing information signs. The average number of devices per outdoor gym was 4,6. The dimensions were between 100-200 m 2 .

“…But OGs success depends on different elements; complement such as fountains, shadows, good maintenance, PA teachers and others. The targeted marketing is important in the success of the OGs and, is favouring that users commute to it walking or biking (Costa, De la Rocha Freitas & Silva, 2016;Del Campo et al, 2016).…”

“…Resultado contrário foi observado em outros estudos em que a presença de academias no bairro associou-se a recomendação de 150 minutos ou mais de atividade física no lazer em idosos 25,26 . No entanto, estes achados não diferenciam o tipo de academia em análise, bem como, a caminhada não é tratada de forma isolada como atividade de lazer.…”

“…Corroborando, estudo com 1.796 adultos e idosos norte-americanos constatou que ter acesso a locais para a prática de atividades físicas como parques, clubes e academias nas redondezas de casa ou mesmo no local de trabalho aumentou as chances dos indivíduos realizarem algum tipo de atividade física no lazer 27 . Portanto, a caminhada no lazer é fortemente associada a proximidade de parques ou praças por possibilitar a prática adequada desse tipo de atividade 25,28 .…”

ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência e as características do ambiente do bairro associadas com a caminhada no lazer e no deslocamento em idosos. Estudo transversal com 213 idosos (60 a 93 anos; 78,9% mulheres), participantes de grupos de convivência da zona urbana de Rio do Sul (SC), no ano de 2014. A caminhada no lazer e deslocamento foi avaliada utilizando a versão longa do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (ativo ≥150 minutos/sem). A percepção do ambiente foi mensurada a partir da versão modificada da Neighborhood Environmental Walkability Scale, composta de 13 questões sobre as características do ambiente do bairro. Adotaram-se análises de regressão logística binária bruta e ajustada, com nível de significância de 5%. A prevalên-cia de caminhada no lazer foi de 22,1% (IC95%: 16,4-27,7) e de 28,2% (IC95%: 22,1-34,2) no deslocamento. A percepção de existência de ruas inclinadas (OR= 3,18; IC95%: 1,44-7,05) e de academias ao ar livre (OR= 0,16; IC95%: 0,04-0,70) foi associada com caminhada no lazer. No deslocamento, observou-se que maior chance de ser ativo na caminhada entre idosos que perceberam à presença de calçadas em condições de uso (OR= 3,50; IC95%: 1,48-8,28) e a presença de academias de ginástica (OR= 4,16; IC95%: 1,72-12,3). Conclui-se que menos de 30% dos idosos de Rio do Sul são ativos na caminhada no lazer e no deslocamento e, a presença de calçadas em condições adequadas de uso foi associada com o comportamento ativo na caminhada no deslocamento em idosos. Melhorar a estrutura das calçadas e diversificar os espaços para atividade física pode promover maiores níveis de caminhada em idosos. in the commuting.

“…Limited evidence is available on fitness zones, but it is known women, middle-aged and physically active people use them more frequently. 13,15,16 Nonetheless, no other studies have explored the association between distance from home to fitness zones and the use of facilities and level of physical activity.…”

Introduction: The characteristics of the built environment are important predictors of physically active behavior. In this regard, the presence, availability, access to and quality of public open spaces for physical activity close to home are positively associated with their use and higher levels of physical activity in the population. Objective: To analyze the association between distance from home to outdoor fitness zones with the use of these facilities and physical activity in adults from Curitiba, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 328 users of 20 outdoor fitness zones. Distance was calculated with the Geographic Information System (GIS) using the street network in ArcGIS 10.1 and classified in tertiles (≤854 meters; 855-1741 meters; ≥1742 meters). To assess the use of the facilities, three attributes were considered: weekly frequency (times/week), length of stay (minutes/day) and length of use (months). The leisure module of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) assessed physical activity, and travel to the destination was classified as "passive" or "active". The association was tested using Poisson regression in STATA 12.0. Results: An inverse association was found between the upper tertile of distance from home to the outdoor fitness zones and active commuting (PR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.51-0.97), and ≥31 min/day length of stay (PR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.31-0.76). Conclusion: Reducing distances and increasing the number of facilities may increase physical activity through active commuting and length of stay at outdoor fitness zones.
