| description | There has been several investigations that try to explain why the university students barely do exercise or most of them have dropped all the outdoor activities during their free time. However, this investigations have gone beyond the walls specially with the students that never do any activity, the reason of this, is due to all the side effects that the physical inactivity has. From the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, a 65.000 college student population, it was taken a sample of 1.207 individuals. The sampling procedure for this research was stratified polietapic with proportional affixation; which resulted on a + 3 percent error margin and a trusted level of 95.5 percent. In order to collect the results of the poll, it was used a standard questionnaire applied in a auto-administrated way. Among the main results, it is important to highlight that the students that do not do any exercise emphasis that the reason of the lack of any activity is because they do not have the abilities to practice any sport, lack of free time, laziness or lack of sportive facilities near to their homes. These results are similar and have affected other investigations in the same manner the university students. Furthermore, the fact that a student studies in a thematic or regional center, or belong to a different university center does not affect or shows the reasons why the students do not do any physical activity during their free time. Being only the sedentary, the students that are studying a degree. This situation obligates us to emphasis and to pay more attention to this group of students, because in case of continuing without any physical activity, this could increase the rate of mortality, inability and morbidity. |
