摘要：

Personality influences the practice of physical activity (PA). The purpose of this observational descriptive study was to analyze the association of personality traits with adherence to PA among 208 patients attending a primary health care centre (Granada, Spain). The patients answered a questionnaire inquiring socio-demographic characteristics, personality traits and PA. Personality was measured using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-125); and PA by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Multiple. linear regression analysis showed (in both men and women) that the higher the score on the Temperament dimension of harm avoidance the lower the adherence to PA (partial r = - .19). Similarly, age (partial r = - .30) and educational level (partial r = - .22) were inversely associated with adherence to PA. The present results can help to predict poor adherence to lifestyle PA. Interventions on high harm avoidance individuals through anxiety reduction might help them in becoming more physically active.
