DOS SANTOS, Ivoneide Firmino et al. Efeito da corrida de rua na qualidade de vida: um estudo descritivo e exploratório. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.3, e229. ISSN 2314-2561. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142561e229.
Objective: to verify the influence of street running on quality of life. Methods: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with an exploratory design, of the survey type, which observed 118 street runners, collected through non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Where a semi-structured sociodemographic questionnaire was applied to describe the participants and check their quality of life, the SF-36 questionnaire was chosen. Normality of data was tested using Shapiro-Wilk test, and homogeneity was tested using Levene’s test (normal distribution). Values were presented as mean and standard deviation to characterize the overall sample and by gender. All tests were performed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: There were no significant differences in quality of life between genders. Practice time showed a significant correlation with functional capacity (p=0.001) and reduction in physical limitation (p=0.005). Conclusion: Street running has a major impact on the quality of life of runners, when performed regularly. The benefits go beyond the biodynamic scope, generating benefits in psychosocial variables.
