“…As recomendações estão focadas nos níveis de AF para a prevenção de DCNTs, o que julga-se ser uma compreensão restrita de sua relação com a saúde 16 . A prática de AF normatizada dentro das recomendações institucionais perde seu caráter hedonístico e adota características da medicalização por considerá-la como um fenômeno puramente biológico e essencialmente determinante para um estado de saúde ideal e, assim, desconsidera ou coloca em um plano secundário os processos de relações sociais que contribuem para a sua prática 24 .…”

“…A partir da crítica de que a literatura tem sido focada no nível de AF e no gasto energético, restringindo a pesquisa e compreensão sobre a AF relacionada à saúde, afirma-se que é hora de uma mudança de paradigma para uma compreensão mais ampla e, portanto, uma abordagem diferente para diretrizes, pesquisa e Carvalho FFB promoção da AF 16 . Defende-se ser necessária uma abordagem das recomendações a partir da compreensão de que a interface com a saúde ultrapassaria o gasto energético e a prevenção de doenças 16 .…”

To discuss physical activity based on evidence that questions the current recommendations of frequency, duration and intensity for health from the defense of which they were incorrectly interpreted and disseminated, besides notes about gaps in the research that culminated in the recommendations is the objective of this article. Literature research was carried out to gather elements on the topics covered and bring light to new interpretations and understandings, in an essay text. From the explanation of the complexity involved in the practice of physical activity, it is emphasized the multiple factors involved and defend the construction of possibilities that are negotiated and agreed with the subjects, as well as the procedural support from there. In conclusion, new horizons are pointed out through the presentation of institutional documents highlighting the necessary extension of the understanding of the relationship between physical activity and health in which the biological is extrapolated, so its realization should not only meet the recommendations.

“…Despite the existence of a large number of studies on correlates of PA, most PA promotion strategies have remained unsuccessful (4). This may be because previous studies have often neglected to account for the complexity and multimodality of PA behavior (4,(6)(7)(8), and also the existence of several levels of influence in their analytical approaches (6,9).…”

“…Ecological approaches are knowledge-driven (5) and generally rely on well-established correlates (5,9), while there could potentially exist some missing correlates due to the aforementioned limitations of traditional statistical approaches (11). For further advancement in correlates research, there has been requests in the existing literature to increase the complexity of statistical assessment to multilevel and more sophisticated approaches to both capture and 4 understand different levels of influences on PA behavior (4,6,8).…”

Purpose A data mining approach was applied to establish a multilevel hierarchy explaining physical activity (PA) behavior, and to methodologically identify the correlates of PA behavior. MethodsThe 46-year follow-up data from the population-based Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 were used to create a hierarchy using Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) decision tree technique for predicting PA behavior. The study's subjects were classified as physically active or physically inactive based on their activity profiles derived from objective measurement of PA. The variables were a wide list of potentially modifiable factors including self-reported, clinical, and environmental measures. We then analyzed the association of the factors emerging from the model with three PA metrics including sedentary (SED), light PA (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) minutes per day. ResultsModel fitting was performed using a total of 168 factors as input variables to classify the PA behavior of 2,701 physically active and 1,881 physically inactive subjects. The decision tree selected a total of 36 factors of different domains by which 54 subgroups of subjects were formed. Factors emerging from the model were associated with the PA metrics, including body fat percentage (SED: B=26.5, LPA: B=-16.1, and MVPA: B=-11.7), normalized heart rate recovery 60 seconds after exercise (SED: B=-16.1, LPA: B=9.9, and MVPA: B=9.6), average weekday total sitting time (SED: B=34.1, LPA: B=-25.3, and MVPA: B=-5.8), and extravagance score (SED: B=6.3 and LPA: B=-3.7). ConclusionsUsing data mining, a data-driven model was established from empirical data that can be potentially utilized to identify subgroups for multilevel intervention allocation. An extensive set of factors was methodologically discovered that can be a basis for additional hypothesis testing in PA correlates research.

“…Physical activity guidelines could direct actions of researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and civil society, constituting an important policy instrument in Brazil. In our opinion, these guidelines would be built grounded on an interdisciplinary perspective, with collaborators of different sectors and with innovations for physical activity promotion, as described by Silva et al 20 .…”

In 2011, Hallal and Florindo argued that the evaluation of interventions to increase physical activity would be an important field within physical activity epidemiology in the following years 1 . Their argument turned out to be true. In the global context, we had a massive increase in studies on interventions in the last ten years. While writing this editorial, we searched PubMed and Web of Science, looking for systematic reviews with the words "intervention" and "physical activity" in their titles. We found 325 publications, the first of which was published in 1978 2 . However, most reviews were published after 2011 (274 publications, 84.3%), with a gradual increase from 2011 to 2016 (from 29 to 63 publications per year).However, a more recent overview showed that the majority of the interventions had medium or small effect sizes in population physical activity levels All of these studies show that "interventions based on physical activity" are a recent and emerging field in public health, and community setting, education, and primary health care are important sectors for actions. However, most types of interventions only had small effects on population physical activity levels.In the Brazilian context, policies on physical activity promotion for the whole country started in 2008, with grants coming from the Ministry of Health to cities, aiming to develop programs in primary health care settings 5 . In 2011, the "Academia da Saúde" program was implemented in primary health care settings to increase and improve health promotion actions, such as physical activity and healthy eating 6 . Now, this program reaches more than 2,500 cities in Brazil and has the potential to cover at least one million people 7 . However, in Brazil, the prevalence of important types of physical activities are low. Florindo et al. showed that the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity (at least 30 minutes per day, 5 times per week, or 20 minutes of vigorous activities at least 3 times per week) was 14.8%, and of transport-related physical activity
