SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: With the COVID-19 pandemic, physical exercise interventions offered in the online format have become an alternative to maintain physical and psychological health to the detriment of social isolation. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to evaluate the effects of an online exercise program with behavior change strategies on the rate of attendance and adherence in physically inactive adults. METHODS: In this randomized clinical trial, 125 adults were divided into two groups (control and experimental). Data normality was verified using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The adherence rate was verified by survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test (Mantel-Cox). The experimental group performed the prescription of physical exercises together with the behavior change strategies, while the control group performed only the prescription of physical exercises. Both interventions had progression in the level of complexity of the exercises every 4 weeks and were offered in online format through forms (google forms). RESULTS: As partial results, we highlight that there were no differences in the rate of adherence between the experimental and control groups over 12 weeks (p = 0.986). As well as there were no significant associations between the characteristics of the participants and the dropout rate (p > 0.05). In this sense, no significant predictors were found to explain the dropout rate in both groups throughout the intervention. The current Study is in progress, currently in the final phase of data collection. For the defense of the dissertation, we intend to present the results regarding the effect of online physical exercise programs with and without behavior change strategies on explicit attitudes, motivation, habit, levels of physical activity and psychological health.
