Desta forma, o objetivo do nosso estudo foi perceber a relação entre frequência da Prática Desportiva (PD) e o Bem-Estar Subjetivo (BES) dos militares da Marinha Portuguesa. Pretendíamos ainda caracterizar a sua Atividade Física (AF), a PD, o nível de BES e perceber se variavam dependendo da idade, posto ou anos de Marinha. Questionamos também os militares acerca da sua perceção relativamente à influência da PD no seu bem-estar, dos benefícios da PD e dos motivos para não praticarem desporto com a frequência desejada. A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 206 militares - praças, sargentos e oficiais - pertencentes à Marinha Portuguesa (média de nos na Marinha 13,25 (± 7,1)), com idades compreendidas entre os 20 e os 48 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos através da aplicação da versão portuguesa e adaptada do Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (Figueiras, 2010) e da versão reduzida e adaptada para a língua portuguesa do International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANASp/rd) (Figueiras, 2009). Os principais resultados indicaram que a maioria dos militares não apresentavam uma prática desportiva frequente, no entanto demonstraram altos índices de AF moderada e de BES. Constatou-se igualmente que a satisfação com a vida dos militares da amostra tinha uma associação positiva com a frequência da pratica desportiva. Em suma, os militares devem praticar regularmente desporto podendo, por exemplo, ser estimulados com a regulamentação da “hora de desporto” das unidades.The military have duties that are inherent to their profession – such as being physically and mentally healthy in order to be able to do complete their daily tasks and serve their country. By this mean, the objective of this study was to understand the relationship between the frequency of sports practice and the subjective well-being of the Portuguese Navy's military. There was, also, an intention of characterizing their physical activity, sports practice, subjective well-being and to see if these facts were dependent on the individual’s age, rank or number of years as part of the Navy. The military were also questioned on their perception of the sport practice’s influence on their well-being, their opinion of the benefits of sports practice and their own reasons for not practicing sports as frequently as they should. Two hundred and six elements of the Portuguese Navy – Seamen, Petty Officers and Officers - were used as a sample for this study, with an age between 20 and 48 years old. The data was collected through an application of the adapted Portuguese version of Life Scale Satisfaction (SWLS) (Figueiras, 2010) and the adapted Portuguese version of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short Form (PANASp/rd) (Figueiras, 2009). After the data was processed, the results indicated that most of military that were interviewed did not present a frequent sports practice. However, they demonstrated high rates of moderate Physical Activity and Subjective Well-Being. It was also possible to conclude that their career fulfillment and satisfaction is highly influenced by the frequency of the sports practice. In conclusion, the military should be encouraged to practice sport regularly. Probably, create doctrine that will regulate a minimum of sport practicing hours aboard naval units, can be one solutionporBem-estar subjetivo, Prática desportiva, Atividade Física, Militares da Marinha PortuguesaSubjective well-being, sports practice, physical activity, Portuguese Navy Militariesmaster thesis202532348
