Abstract

In view of the constant adaptations of de Unified Health System (SUS) to promote improvements in access and quality of the service, strategies were developed in order to broaden and qualify the service to users. In this way, the Family Health Support Center (FHSC - in portuguese: NASF) were created. FHSC is composed of multiprofessional teams that work together with the Family Health teams through the matrix support strategy. Considering that physical inactivity is a risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases, developing strategies to increase levels of physical activity in the population has become a goal for SUS, which highlights the importance of the participation of the Physical Education Professional in the primary care (PC). FHSC is a possibility for this acting. In order to encourage and evaluate the actions developed by primary care, the government created the Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care (PMAQ-AB). The objective of this study is to describe of the FHSC teams, through the PMAQ-2 data collected in 2013, highlighting the actions of health promotion with physical activities and the participation of Physical Education Professional. It was reported that the PEP is the second most prevalent in the FHSC teams across Brazil, supporting 87% of the PC teams. In addition, 84.6% of the FHSC teams support or develop actions to promote Physical Activities in Chronic Diseases.
