The Sample was compound by 250 individuals (181 feminine/69 masculine), practitioners of aerobic gymnastic or one of its variants, in a minimum of practise of three times per week, through the period of time of at least three non - stoppable months, in eight gyms situated in the city of Montes Claros-MG. The data was researched by the use of a questionary, created and validated for this study, aiming to receive information related to sex, age and interviewee’s intention of practise. The statistic analysis was formed and based in a delineation and tracing of the sample, in other words, based in a descriptive analysis and comparative analysis between groups, using the x2 test.
