Abstract: The relationship between physical activity and the geographical context is a topic that has received less attention in middle and low income countries compared to studies investigating the association between physical activity and socio-economic factors. In turn, environmental variables are particularly important when studying physical activity levels, because the practice of physical activity depends on the right conditions. Socio-economic and demographic factors contribute significantly to changes in physical activity levels, but environmental changes can also lead to changes in population behavior and adherence to a more or less active lifestyle. Socio-economic changes related to technological advances also influence the population in different ways. In rural areas, this is done by modernizing farming and animal husbandry, improving communication and increasing the consumption of technology previously inaccessible to these population groups. Another issue is urban sprawl, which is associated with lower activity levels physical phenomenon that recorded an accelerated rate.
