Abstract(s)
A obesidade trata-se de um crescente problema de Saúde Pública, que tem vindo a alcançar proporções epidémicas, sendo as crianças um grupo, particularmente, vulnerável a esta patologia, que é considerada a doença mais comum nesta faixa etária. Favorecendo este estado ponderal existem dois elementos chave, uma ingestão alimentar inadequada e baixos níveis de atividade física. Deste modo, uma vertente fulcral no tratamento desta patologia é a prática regular de atividade física, uma vez que esta é essencial para o controlo do peso. Torna-se, assim, importante compreender como se a pode e deve prescrever neste contexto.
Objetivos: Rever a temática da prescrição de exercício físico na obesidade infantil; Abordar as recomendações para a prática de atividade física; Saber quais são os tipos de atividades e possíveis exercícios mais indicados para as crianças, particularmente para as com excesso de peso; Conhecer quais são os principais benefícios da atividade física regular, essencialmente neste grupo etário com esta patologia.
Metodologia: Leitura e análise de artigos publicados acerca do tema, nos últimos 5 anos, na base de dados dos sites ebscohost.com e pubmed.com, em algumas organizações (Organização Mundial de Saúde, Direção Geral da Saúde, American College of Sports Medicine, European Childhood Obesity Group, Instituto Nacional de Saúde, World Obesity Federation, Federación Española de Medicina del Desporte e Associação de Empresas de Ginásios e Academias de Portugal) e instituições governamentais (Estados Unidos e Reino Unido). De forma a complementar a informação existente estendi a pesquisa para os últimos 10 anos.

Favoring this weight status there are two key elements, an inadequate dietary intake and low levels of physical activity. Thus, a crucial aspect in the treatment of this pathology is the regular practice of physical activity, since this is essential for weight control.

In order to complement the existing information extended the search for the last 10 years.
