Abstract

A sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity are conceptualized with the absence of activity in order to lead the biological system to get used to a sedentary life. School Physical Education can contribute to changes in the sedentary behavior of children and adolescents. The objective of this study was to analyze the importance of school Physical Education in the fight against a sedentary lifestyle, and in what way it can contribute. A review of articles related to school PE and physical inactivity in the last 10 years was carried out. For this, data published on the PUBMED, LILACS and Scielo platforms were analyzed. After establishing the keywords and criteria for inclusion and exclusion, 4 studies were selected. Of the 4 studies evaluated, 2 had positive results regarding the importance of Physical Education, 1 article had an inconclusive result due to strike and climate change issues and the other, despite some analyzes having undergone changes between groups and variants, there was no difference. . In this way, it can be seen that strategies are needed to combat a sedentary lifestyle within schools, since most of the sedentary behavior is during school hours, and a small part of this time is destined for Physical Education.
