This study analyzed the motivation factors of 203 practitioners of physical exercise in the city of Petrolina-PE according to sociodemographic data. The instruments used were the Exercise
Motivations Inventory-2 (EMI-2) and a questionnaire with questions regarding gender, age, marital statust monthly income, type of exercise, practice time and weekly practice frequency. Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis "U" tests (p <0.05). The results showed that men presented higher scores in the factors: physical condition, fun, health rehabilitation, competition and social recognition, while women presented higher scores only in health rehabilitation. Married and widowed / divorced individuals presented higher values for disease prevention than single individuals. Married subjects presented higher scores on factors: stress control, fun and affiliation. People who receive more than 2 minimum wages are more motivated by weight control and health rehabilitation, and individuals who exercise more often during the week have higher rates of motivation for stress management, fun, affiliation, and rehabilitation health and competition. It was concluded that the sociodemographic variables are factors involved in the motivation for physical exercise.
