Abstract

The research consisted of evaluating the main social support received by street-racing practitioners in Curitiba. The study is descriptive, describing the practice of street racing and the types of social support. The objectives of the research are to identify the association between social support received from family, friends and spouse and the practice of street racing, describe the practice of street racing, determine social support and raise information on street racing practitioners. We seek to understand how the street race in the city of Curitiba is currently, number of advisories and demand for the modality, with or without training, since it is a modality that has presented a great increase of practitioners, we also explain what is social support and the types that may be associated with the practice of physical activity in adults. The research was carried out through the application of a questionnaire adapted for the practice of street running by adults, in an advisory in Curitiba, through individual answers to the questionnaire, which consists of general questions about the practice of street racing and classification level of social support received by each group, such as family (father, mother and siblings), friends, spouses (who live together), personal data and socioeconomic level (ABEP). The dependent variables analyzed were "practice time", "duration of training", "frequency of training", the independents were "did", "invited", "encouraged", "practiced" and and the socioeconomic level according to the ABEP questionnaire, 2016. The results found were that social support has an association when the group analyzed is the spouse when "thinks it good practice" and friends when "encouraged" in the practice time of more than 24 months, but in the bivariate model, this association has no force for the permanence of the practitioner in the modality.
