Introduction: The dietary lifestyle of populations associated with physical inactivity has led to the emergence of non-communicable diseases today. In order to reduce the progression of these diseases, in 2010 the WHO recommended the regular practice of physical and sporting activity by giving recommendations on the frequency of practice. Populations, aware of the benefits of physical and sporting activity, have engaged in the practice. However, the regularity of this practice remains a problem in the African context in general, and that of Burkina Faso in particular. Objective: The main objective of this article is to identify the constraints linked to the regular practice of physical and sporting activity in the city of Ouagadougou. Methodology to achieve this objective, we developed a questionnaire and administered it to 320 APS practitioners using the non-probabilistic method and the reasoned choice technique. Results: The results showed that this regular practice encounters constraints in the city of Ouagadougou, the main ones being the lack of time the great distance between homes and the lack of sports infrastructure. Conclusion: The political authorities are then called upon to be part of the dynamic of efficient territorial planning in multi-sport sports facilities, to promote a local practice of APS within the Burkinabè population.
