Abstract：
The present study analyzed a gymnastics program offered by the Department of Sports and Leisure at a Brazilian city hall, representing an example of an effective and consolidated public policy.
The objective of this study was to understand the reasons for enrollment/joining (adhesion) and permanence (adherence) among female students in gymnastics groups in order to understand why this public policy has been taking place uninterruptedly for over thirty years and to characterize the quality of life of female gymnastics students.
This is a case study that used mixed methods. As a quantitative method, the Portuguese version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-bref) questionnaire was used. As a qualitative method, the focus group technique was used. Thus, 239 women aged between thirty-five and seventy-four years old, who were students of the gymnastics program, participated in this research by answering the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire. Two classes were selected using the socioeconomic criterion of social classes in inverse situations to carry out one focus group session; then, twenty students belonging to the two classes were randomly selected.
It was verified that the public policy studied has led to an improvement in the quality of life of the students, with the benefits extending beyond physical health, and that in both groups adhesion occurred mainly due to the indication of students who already practiced, or due to medical indications. It was also found that, in both groups, the main reason for long-term adherence was the understanding of the gymnastics class as a space for sociability and a moment of leisure.
Physical activity is an important health promotion strategy. In addition to its biological benefits, which are necessary for the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, it also improves health and quality of life through social and psychological benefits, characterizing it as an effective health care strategy from a biopsychosocial perspective.

摘要：
背景：本研究分析了巴西市政厅体育与休闲部提供的一项体操计划，代表了有效和综合的公共政策的一个例子。
目的：这项研究的目的是了解体操团体中女生的注册/加入（粘附）和持久性（粘附）的原因，以便了解为什么这项公共政策一直不间断地进行了三十多年，并表征了女体操学生的生活质量。
方法：这是一个使用混合方法的案例研究。作为一种定量方法，使用葡萄牙语版世界卫生组织生活质量缩写版(WHOQOL-bref)问卷.作为一种定性方法，使用焦点小组技术.因此，239名年龄在35至74岁之间的妇女，他们是体操项目的学生，通过回答WHOQOL-bref问卷参与了这项研究。在相反的情况下，使用社会阶层的社会经济标准选择了两个阶层，以进行一次焦点小组会议；然后，随机抽取了两个班的二十名学生。
结果：经过验证，所研究的公共政策改善了学生的生活质量，这些好处超越了身体健康，在两组中，粘连的发生主要是由于已经练习的学生的指示，或由于医学适应症。还发现,在这两组中，长期坚持的主要原因是将体操课程理解为社交和休闲的空间。
结论：身体活动是一种重要的健康促进策略。除了它的生物学益处，这是预防慢性非传染性疾病所必需的，它还通过社会和心理益处改善健康和生活质量，从生物心理社会的角度将其描述为有效的医疗保健策略。
