Resumo

Este trabajo analiza los efectos del confinamiento sobre el ejercicio físico de la población, con el propósito de responder a tres cuestiones: ¿En qué medida los patrones de ejercicio durante el confinamiento fueron diferentes de los habituales? En el caso de las personas que realizaban ejercicio ¿qué variables explican la diferencia entre la frecuencia de práctica durante el confinamiento y su frecuencia habitual? Y, por último ¿qué factores explican los cambios en los hábitos de ejercicio después del confinamiento de las personas activas durante dicho período? Para responder a estas preguntas, se estimaron logits binarios de participación y logits ordenados para analizar la frecuencia y los cambios en los hábitos de ejercicio. El análisis empírico emplea la Encuesta de Hábitos Deportivos de 2020. La muestra está formada por 5,154 observaciones, de las que 3,060 hicieron ejercicio al menos una vez al mes (59,4%) y 2,178 practicaron ejercicio durante el confinamiento (42,3%). Los resultados indican que algunos determinantes de la probabilidad y la frecuencia de ejercicio perdieron significatividad durante el confinamiento. Además, las mujeres y las personas de mayor nivel educativo aumentaron la frecuencia de práctica durante el confinamiento, en comparación con su práctica habitual, y las mujeres activas durante el confinamiento redujeron su práctica una vez que se relajaron las restricciones. Por tanto, los responsables de la formulación de políticas públicas deberían centrar su atención en los hombres y en las personas con menor nivel educativo en caso de futuras restricciones de movilidad.
