Abstract

Understanding users' perceptions of physical activity practice is important as it helps achieve greater effectiveness in a physical activity / exercise program. This work seeks to investigate the perceptions of users of Basic Health Units on the theme of physical activity and health. This study is presented as a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study. A semi-structured interview script was used to collect the data. In the data analysis, the proposal used by Minayo (2012) of data ordering through transcription of the interviews was used, for the final analysis the categories identified with the theoretical framework used were related. The results showed that users recognize that there is a positive relationship between being physically active and / or practicing exercise and health and that they also believe that the presence of physical education professionals working in basic health units is important.
