Resumen
This research work aims to determine the association between the felt morbidity of MSDs and the perception of physical activity at work in workers of the operative area of an airport institution in the city of Pereira, for which the nordic questionnaire was adapted and applied, with which the felt morbidity of MSDs was established, and the international physical activity questionnaire - IPAQ, through which the perception of PA at work of the participants was determined. By calculating Pearson's correlation coefficients, it was possible to establish the type of association existing between the variables under study. This is a non-experimental quantitative research, with a transversal-correlational design, whose participants were chosen by means of a non-probabilistic convenience sampling, of which 55 workers took part voluntarily. It was found that there is an association between the variables "perception of PA at work" and "felt morbidity of occupational MSDs", and that this association can occur both positively and negatively, although in this particular research a mostly positive association was found. It remains to be discussed the need to complement these results with the application of other diagnostic tools, such as those in the field of ergonomics, to better determine and characterize the particular cases.
