    Prevalence of Sports Practice among Mexican Adults in 2002 and 2014
    (Murcia: Servicio de publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Ortiz Hernández, Luis; Ayala Hilario, Carolina; Ayala Guzmán, César Iván
    Theaim of our study was to know the change over time of sports practice prevalence in Mexican adults and its socio-demographic correlates.We analyzed the Mexican National Survey of Time Use (ENUT) conduc-ted in 2002 and 2014; which is based on a representative sample of Mexican adults. Through a questionnaire, it was inquired if people practised sport in the previous week of the interview and the time spent to do it. The in-dependent variables were sociodemographic characteristics. We found that the prevalence of sports practice increased between 2002 and 2014 (from 15.8% to 29.3%). Being single or having a high socioeconomic position was associated with a higher probability of sports practice. Men and city dwe-llers had higher probabilities of practice sport compared with their counter-parts; although these differences tended to decrease. We conclude that the prevalence of sports practice in Mexico has increased, but it remains low. We identified groups with lower probabilities to practice sport in which efforts can be focused to promote active lifestyles.

    Troubleshooting tourism and leisure as development process in Mozambique
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2025) Chiundila Vico, Verónica Cecílio; Azevedo, Francisco Fransualdo de; Vico, Roberto Paolo; Ricci Uvinha, Ricardo; Departamentos
    This article examines the development of tourism and leisure in Mozambique, highlight-ing inequalities that affect its practice. Using a qualitative approach based on literature, docu-mentary and field research, it finds that tourism stimulates corporate expansion, reinforcing the commodification of leisure and ties of dependency. It thus generates unequal relations, benefiting hegemonic stakeholders through this condition imposed on different economic and social realities. A more endogenous and solidarity-based development of tourist territo-ries is required.
