(2022). Can we improve our neighbourhoods to be more physically active? Residents” perceptions from a qualitative urban health inequalities study. Health and Place, 77. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.HEALTHPLACE.2021.10265810.1016/J.HEALTHPLACE.2021.102658https://hdl.handle.net/10433/22638The objective of our study was to identify neighbourhood factors which prevent and encourage physical activity, according to the residents' perspective. We used qualitative methods, conducting 37 semi-structured interviews and 29 focus groups. The main results were that the type of physical activity that took place in every neighbourhood was different; access to sports facilities varied due to prices and safety issues; garbage and obstacles on sidewalks were a serious limitation to physical activity; economic instability had an impact on physical activity. These results might lead the perception and insights of residents to be considered in public health interventions.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Actividad físicaEntorno urbanoMetodología cualitativajournal articlerestricted access
