INTRODUCTION: The motivation for sports practice has been the frequent subject of studies. Although university servants have greater access to up-to-date information on the health benefits of sport, little is known about their practice, as well as the recognition of barriers, to make them physically active. OBJECTIVES: To identify the motivating factors and barriers for the practice of physical-sports activities of servers of the federal university. METHODS: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 431 effective servers of the Federal University of Sergipe-UFS. We used three instruments, one with socio-demographic data, the Motivation Scale for Sports Practice-EMPE, and the Measurement of Barriers Perception for the Practice of Physical Activities-MPBPAF. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, factorial analysis, Cronbach's alpha and Student's t-test for independent samples. We considered significant values of p < 0.05. RESULTS: from the factor analysis, the 33 items from EMPE were organized into 6 factors and the 19 MPBPAF items were organized into 5 factors. Comparisons of the motivating factors as are recognized as barriers to the practice of sports in relation to the studied variables did not show statistically significant differences, except for the factors perceived as barriers related to the variable sex. CONCLUSION: individuals found greater motivation for the practice of sports in the conquest of health. The greatest barriers were recognized in the dimension "social organization", and the less important were the "Psychological dimensions", "Physics" and "Motivational".
