Abstract

The investigation of physical activity habits is a common process in different contexts, so the present study aimed to analyze the physical activity habits of Colombian nationals and migrants residing in the city of Sincelejo. Within the framework of the project called "Citizen Culture and Integral Formation", a descriptive cross-sectional study was developed and a sample of 3464 people was taken. It can be concluded that 8 out of 10 migrants who engage in physical activity are located in strata 1 and 2, and that women prefer aerobics, walking or running, and men prefer walking, running or playing soccer. It is recommended that suitable spaces be guaranteed for the practice of sports for social and cultural integration.
