Educadores físicos no sistema único de saúde

Abstract

Physical Education has as legal landmark its insertion in collective health from the Resolution N. 287/98, the creation of Family Health Support Center (NASF, 2008) and the National Policy for the Health Promotion (PNPS, 2006). This study aims to understand therole of Physical Educators in the Unified Health System programs. Methodologically, it is a qualitative study, in which the strategy adopted was an integrative review. We have consulted the publications of the Virtual Health Library, CAPE , LILACS and Scielo Journals, andfourteen scientific productions were selected. The insertion of the Physical Educator has predominance at the Family Health Support Center with gymnastics and walking. Although the insertion is incipient, we realize that the Physical Educators performance has attempted toaccomplish the guidelines of NASF and PNPS, and may be interesting to reorient health actions. In short, the productions surveyed, evidenced that there are few studies and articles showing the training process of physical education professionals in health, as well as itsperformance and effectiveness of actions; moreover, expanded discussion about consistent academic and professional training with the insertion of the area in public health services and problematization about the policy of education and sensitization of students to act in PhysicalEducation and collective health. Therefore, Physical Education has a playing field in straight growing and a trajectory to be built in primary health care and in reshaping the undergraduate curriculums.
