Abstract

Regular physical activity (PA) promotes health benefits over time. Numerous organizations produce guidelines to guide public administrators, health professionals and the public in general to the practice of PA. However, even though in general terms guidelines follow the same goals, nuances in guidelines communication may cause discrepancies in understanding the messages. The objective of this essay was to describe and compare PA guidelines, highlighting differences and similarities and identifying gaps and potentialities. It suggests, in the end, a sketch for studies designed to constitute further recommemdation updates.
