Abstract

With the increase in the number of students in the academies and the greater search for Strength Training (TF), it has become increasingly important to understand the reasons that lead to practice the sport and the factors that make them feel motivated. Knowing these aspects we will be able to direct to what extent the motivation will be decisive for the student's permanence in this type of training and how we can achieve them. Motivation is the major component in regular physical exercise, the main factor for the student to stay focused and stay faithful to classes, how important the role of the Physical Education professional / Trainer is for the student stay frequent and feel motivated in practice. Objective: To identify the impacts generated in the regular practice of Strength Training from the use of motivation strategies in gyms in the city of Flores da Cunha - RS. Materials and Methods: Quantitative, descriptive and exploratory research with a transversal bias. The sample, for convenience, consisted of 67 individuals, 36 males and 31 females, aged between 18 and 70 years, attending gymnasiums in the city of Flores da Cunha, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The instrument used was a closed, self-administered questionnaire containing 12 questions. For the statistical treatment, the IBM ® SSPS Statistics 21.0 software and the Microsoft Excel program were used, where descriptive measures (means, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages) were calculated. Results: Through data analysis, it was found out of the 67 research participants, (32.5%) seek quality of life in the practice of TF, (32.5%) claim that the monitoring of the Physical Education professional (EFI) motivates you to stay in the sport. In relation to the total number of participants (21.6%), they have already abandoned the practice due to an injury or surgery, (32.4%) affirms that the change in the structure of the gym can be decisive for motivation. Already (61.2%) affirms that the results obtained with TF motivate a lot and (70.14%) feel motivated with a closer monitoring by the EFI professional. Final considerations: With the data collected you can conclude that motivation occurs in two ways, intrinsic and extrinsic according to the Theory of Self-Determination (TAD) and both are important to keep the student focused on the modality. In the female sex, the search for TF happens more for quality of life, in the male, it happens due to aesthetics, and that the monitoring of EFI professionals and the structure of the academy are crucial to keep students motivated.
