The importance of physical activity for the prevention of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)
Abstract
This research aimed to discuss the relationship between physical activity and NCDs, presenting scientific evidence that supports the importance of regular exercise for the prevention and control of these diseases. To this end, the method of literature review was adopted with a survey of studies and scientific articles related to the relationship between physical activity and NCDs. The search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, using keywords such as "physical activity", "chronic non-communicable diseases", "prevention" and "control". The results showed that physical activity has been widely recognized as one of the main strategies to prevent and control NCDs, as it can reduce the risk of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and improve cardiovascular and mental health. Therefore, the promotion of physical activity can contribute to the prevention and control of NCDs, which can inform the development of more effective public policies and intervention programs in the field of physical education and health.
