A Proposal for the Promotion of Physical Activity from the Perspective of Primary Care Pediatrics

Abstract

 The promotion of physical activity is a duty of society as a whole and, to a greater extent, of the groups of professionals responsible for the health of the population. Paediatric professionals must contribute to the overall development of the child and adolescent population by encouraging this age group to attain at least the minimum recommendations for physical activity. Based on the evidence and recommendations available, interventions should be carried out from a family, community, and multidisciplinary approach.
