Nível de atividade física e satisfação estética de usuários de procedimentos estéticos

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the level of physical activity and aesthetic satisfaction, comparing between users of aesthetics clinic, in order to know the profile of the public and verify the level of physical activity and body satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an observational, cross-sectional, comparative study conducted with 25 women, aged between eighteen and fifty-nine years old, users of aesthetic clinics, who agreed to participate by signing the Free and Informed Consent Form. The IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - International Physical Activity Questionnaire) was applied to verify the level of physical activity and an authorial questionnaire to assess body satisfaction. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: According to IPAQ, most of them do not perform as much physical activity when they should, performing only to stay active. The author's questionnaire, on the other hand, showed that most of them are not satisfied with their own bodies and are looking for a miraculous change. This dissatisfaction harms social and professional coexistence. CONCLUSION: It was found that the image is directly linked to well-being and that the physical activity performed is not sufficient to obtain significant results for any of these patients.
