RESUMO:These Guidelines present physical activity recommendations for all ages - children 0-5 years, youth 6-17 years, adult and elderly individuals - and for people with some conditions, such as pregnant women and people with disabilities. There is also a special chapter on Physical Education at school and an opening chapter on the concepts of physical activity, exercise, sedentary behavior, and other relevant definitions. This document is directed to the Brazilian population with a focus on health promotion through physical activity. In order to know the physical activity recommendations, it is necessary to read Chapter 1 - Understanding Physical Activity - and the Chapter that is designed for your age group or condition. During the preparation of these Guidelines, the scientific literature was screened, and the scientific committee dialogued with specialists and member of the public. Also, a formal online open consultation was conducted, to get suggestions from experts and from the lay public. The final version therefore represents up-to-date scientific evidence complemented with suggestions from the Brazilian society.
