Abstract

Health care proposals within the SUS (Brazil's Unified Health System) have been increasingly revolutionizing, an example of this is the presence of physical education professionals in the Basic Health Care and The Family Health Support Centers (NASF, acronym for Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família, in Portuguese). Thus, the objective of this study was to show the importance of the insertion of physical education professionals into basic health care. It was a qualitative research, based on literature review findings, through online searches on health platforms. The results showed how important it is for the population's well-being to have a follow-up by a physical education professional within the basic public health care, since this professional can promote people's health through the practice of physical exercise, in addition to planning, supervising and coordinating physical, sporting and recreational activity programs. Thus, contributing to the improvement of the quality of care provided to the population through the NASF and the Public Health Gym.
