The aim of this study was to analyze the barriers to changing the behavior of overweight women participating in the VAMOS 2.0 Program. Participants were 22 overweight elderly women with a mean age of 69.72±5.41 years. Baseline and post-intervention interviews of the VAMOS 2.0 program were conducted. The software NVIVO® version 12.0 was used to analyze the interviews and coding the categories: barriers to physical activity (PA) and eating behavior (EB). Lack of motivation and health problems were the main barriers to the practice of PA; changing eating habits and social support were considered barriers to changing EB at baseline. The SARS CoV-2 pandemic was cited as a barrier for the two markers in the post-intervention period, especially for PA. Barriers to PA and EB are found in elderly women participating in VAMOS. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is believed to influence these barriers to decrease motivation.
